Summary
Hey Nieces and Nephews!
As we approach Mother’s Day THIS snippet hits differently!
Mandii B and Bridget Kelly release album breakdowns on Patreon monthly. The See, The Thing is team wanted to share an exclusive snippet of the album breakdown episode of "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill".
In this snippet you'll hear how the song "To Zion" encourages the ladies to ask, what burdens did their mother's carry that they are recently becoming aware of as an adult? What are the benefits and drawbacks of a single mother focusing ALL of her attention on her child or children?

| 1:09.0 | Yes, but I think about like the artists now that we watch go through the similar situation like the Kailani's or the summer walkers, |
| 1:19.0 | who decided to, you know, embrace motherhood at a relatively early age. |
| 1:25.0 | I'm sure regardless of what the circumstance was with the partner or whatever, it didn't look like a conventional situation, |
| 1:32.0 | which is incredibly brave. And I say, I say brave because I think a lot of women are conditioned to believe that it has to be a certain way in order for it to work. |

| 2:31.0 | And yeah, she was just very much like, I got this. And so it wasn't until I got older even to where I saw her break down. |
| 2:38.0 | But I think that it like, seeing that if I were a mother, that I wouldn't have known at all how hard it was. |
