· Welcome to the Sweet Mother Podcast. This podcast exists to tell the stories of powerful women as told by the daughters they left behind. My name is Sohkor Solanke, and in today’s episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Cleanda “CeeCee” Dieuvielle the executive director of Mama Africana mentorship program in Tampa, Florida, about the 2011 loss of her mother, Dianne Dieuveille, and the impact that her mother’s influence has had on her life.
