Social Activist Yvonne Jones returns for the final installation of our mini series #mamaknowscommunity. This time she again welcomes three generations of women from her family to talk community, family, and legacy. Welcome back to the studio Mrs. Emma Steward, Mrs. Shirley Roberson-Presley, and Dr. Penny Logan.
Our guests hold no punches in this open and honest conversation about the struggle for liberation for the Black community. There are also surprise connections between Mrs. Jones' family and the legendary Fred Hampton.
Community Mother Emma Steward, Educator Shirley Roberson-Presley and Dr. Penny Logan speak with Mrs. Jones about their experiences working to build community, fight oppression, and uphold their ministry as #superaunts. If you don't know Aunts are the backbone of the Black community. In Episode 26, Mrs. Jones gets her sisters and aunt to share their Auntie Legacy.
Mrs. Emma Steward is a nonagenarian living in Hot Springs, AR who continues to do her part to infuse care and integrity in her community and especially works at ensuring her church is well taken care of.
