In the inaugural episode of the OYWTGT podcast, we explore Melissa’s journey into motherhood at the tender age of 14. Having been made to give her baby up for adoption, this story reveals how the experience shaped her evolution as a young woman, and the way she mothered her daughter, Jasmine. Together we uncover the ways we’ve embodied other’s projections, labels, and expectations and the ways they have kept us both living as mere outlines (Silhouette’s), never fully allowing ourselves and others to witness us in our entirety.
