Afro's annual fundraiser.
The Motherwit of Nature
MY PARENTS MOVED TO CALIFORNIA FROM TEXAS DURING THE GREAT
migration of African Americans to a safer and more prosperous West.
Following routes pioneered by Pullman porters, the upwardly mobile
African American train stewards, my parents, along with their siblings,
arrived in the bustling towns of Richmond and West Oakland. Here,
they worked in canneries and shipyards-opportunities unimaginable
in the small rural towns they left behind.
Alongside an ambition to stack their coins, they kept in their center
a Christian faith, and motherwit, a term that describes a mindset of tenacity, everyday wisdom, solid morals, and common sense. The ability
to make a way out of no way. In our family, motherwit rivaled formal
education as the key to successfully navigating the world with integ-

rity. My folks also brought with them to California a love for nature as a
refuge. In it, they fostered an ability to keep their Southern swagger of
land stewardship-with a healthy dose of hospitality mixed in-alive.
To that end, they invested in several acres of land north of the Bay Area
in Lake County, California.
I was born in 1970's Oakland at Providence Hospital in the midst
of the determined, snappy vision of the Black Panther Party, educational martyr and visionary Marcus Foster, and the storm of a raging
Vietnam War. It was a wild time all around in our country, but I don't
recall anything less than love and a sense of community around me. As
a very small child, I especially remember family picnics at Lake Merritt
(which I would later learn is the oldest wildlife sanctuary in the country).
