I didn’t value her as a teenager… I took her for granted and we fought like hell. The irony is, as a woman I value her so much more now, not even as a mother, but as a person. She was absurdly intelligent, studying biomedical engineering at Howard and Johns Hopkins, fierce, fearless, beautiful, and she was my mother.”
