Summary
Introducing Grandmother is a Question (Asha & Isis) from Mother is a Question.
Follow the show: Mother is a Question
To wrap up Season 2 we have a love story about a grandmother and her granddaughter - how they came to know themselves through each other, and how they’ve saved each other’s lives, again and again. It’s a story about home. How we find our place. Our longing for Motherland. It’s about destiny– the kind we create and the kind that creates us. And as we prepare to end our season, it’s also a story about taking flight, and saying goodbye.--------------------Listeners, we want to thank you for joining us for the first two seasons of Mother is a Question.
