Songs of Our Mothers: The 131st Singing Tree
“We are mothers and grandmothers. We are women who lived through turbulent times in our 20’s. Then, explored our passions through careers in advocacy. Now, we are women maturing into elderhood with strong life stories to be shared with the next generation of younger women.”
Members of Healing & Uniting Every Sista (HUES), a group at San Francisco AIDS Foundation, came together to explore how to share their experiences as long-term survivors of HIV. Our women, our Mothers of the Movement, detail points of their lives, focusing on the 4 phases of womanhood—growth in childhood; the twisting & turnings of young adulthood; the Sisterhood years with the passions of love, friendships and careers; lastly, we learn that the phase of elderhood widens us into a balanced state between matured individuality and dependence upon others.
