The Legacy of Dee Dee

Every Black family knows there is that one matriarch that holds it all down. To the government, her name is Cordelia Hill, but to our family, she is known as Queen Mother and more affectionally to her granddaughter, Mimi Jacks, as Dee Dee.  Queen Mother is 92 years old and has had eight children, lived through one of the most devastating tornadoes in history, received a college degree at 61 and is two ancestors away from relatives that were slaves.  In this podcast, we hear Queen Mother share her experiences in her own voice.  We also hear her children share what it was like to grow up with her as their mother. If you ever had a connection to that one special person in your life and wondered about their story, this podcast is for you. Get ready to adopt Mrs. Hill as YOUR Queen Mother! This is The Legend of Dee Dee.
