Five Things My Mom Taught Me: About Being a Woman

By Marlo Wright

After teaching life skills I learned along the journey of life, from key experiences and from my mom over many years, it was time to give a larger platform to the woman who I consider to be the best woman ever. This first book of the series talks about five foundational things my mom wanted me to know about being a better woman. Mom is a woman of substance and fortitude. Sharing her invaluable advice is for all womenwomen who never had a mom, who had a mom that didnt act like a mom, and even those who had great women as moms. The more we learn the more we grow. After all, our journeys as women are so different, yet all the same.
