66, They Called Her Mama Cass

Janet's mom died the day Janet graduated high school. If that doesn't set the tone for your life, followed directly by some shitty treatment by your remaining family which heavily impacts your future, I'm not sure what does.

Janet lives in Canada and is a "badass boss lady" just like her mama, Cass. She is proud to be a public servant. Janet has come a long way from the 18 year old girl whose life blew up in her face when her mother died. She now has her own family, and has used her experiences to better prepare for her children and their future.

Janet wanted to remember the 25th anniversary of her mother's death in June 2020. She created the Motherlove Project, where she shares written stories and pictures of other women who have lost their mothers. True to her life's design, she created a medium where others can write their own stories, just like Janet realized she could do with her own life.

"My mom's story is not mine. I get to write a different story."
