A fiercely independent woman,
a complex one, Phaedra, the victim and the victimizer,
the one who traveled alone across our country,
and others, who said her mind and forged her
own path.
She taught me this, to never depend on a man.
She showed me this, that education is essential,
regardless of the cost, the time, its usefulness.
she taught me that I never wanted to mother like her,
and I must find my own path in all ways.
these are all good things, she pushed me out
into the world, breech and without a
second glance.
My mom, Ariane Devaud,
may she rest in peace.
She deserves it.
