In This Interview, Dr. Tererai Trent and I Discuss...
Her book, The Awakened Woman: Remembering and Reigniting Our Sacred Dreams
The two hungers in our life - the little hunger and the great hunger
The hunger for a meaningful life
Asking yourself, "what breaks my heart?"
The rural community she grew up in
The wisdom of her grandmother
That her grandmother was defined by her wisdom
Her answer to the question she was asked - what are your dreams?
The moment she was told that her dreams were achievable
When her mother said to write down her dreams and bury (i.e. plant) them in the ground.
How she broke the cycle of poverty
The baton of poverty, illiteracy, early marriage, and abuse that she redefined
The baton of wisdom, that she received
The four dreams she wrote down
When her mother said, "your goals in life will be more achievable when connected to the greater good of your community"
The difference between culture and customs
The 8 years it took for her to graduate high school
Getting into Oklahoma State University but not having enough money to fly to America
Feeding the deep hunger that says - you can achieve your dreams
When she reconnected with the woman who first believed in her
When she finally earned her PhD
She worked 3 jobs and took 18 hours of coursework and took care of 5 kids getting her food from trashcans
How she is not a victim, she is part of the solution
Where her kids are now
"It is acheivable"
How many girls her work has now impacted
