Me and Meme Beverly

Meme is the word in Gombo Creole for Grandmother. My Meme is a woman of the African Diaspora who has a rich past and who is a repository of knowledge as are all of our old ones. Hey y'all remember value your grandparents, show them respect, and above all learn from them. They have survived some of the darkest moments of our people and have seen some our people's brightest. Listen to their stories and pass them down to those younger than you. We have always been a people of stories whether we told them or wrote them. (Oh and we did write especially the ethnic groups which were or are traditionally Muslims in Africa). At any rate take some time, slow down and visit one of your grands if you're still blessed to have any. Trust me they are one the greatest familial resources you have.
