Chair: Jackson P Brown
Level -1 Foyer (1 minute from Level 0)
Time: 1pm – 1:40pm
What gets passed down through bloodlines — and what gets buried?
In this fearless, emotionally charged conversation, three powerful storytellers — Celeste Mohammed, Olumide Popoola, and Marcia Hutchinson — dig into the raw truths of motherhood, survival, and the silences that shape generations. From hidden grief and mental health struggles to migration, colonial trauma, and complicated faith, they explore what daughters inherit, what mothers carry, and what it takes to break the cycle.
Chaired by Jackson P Brown, this session is about writing the stories we were never meant to tell — and reclaiming the ones we weren’t supposed to survive.
Come for the pain, stay for the power. This is writing as witness, resistance, and release.
