My Mother's Words is the first in a series of five volumes of work on African proverbs. It is a special edition book focusing on my life with my mother as I was growing up. It contains a collection of frequently used proverbs by my mother and serves as a link that bound me with my mother. It is meant to serve as a link that also binds people of African descent to our ancestral legacy. These proverbs have formed the bedrock of my being, and I have held on to them through my social and professional life. This collection is intended to enkindle interest in all peoples of the world and create an awareness of the power of our ancestral spoken words.Visit our website at https: //www.afrikankulturekoncepts.com and share youth thoughts and reflections.
