My mom has a good way of engaging me in a conversation about the choices I make, listening, being objective and open-minded, and respecting those choices so long as they don't put me in danger. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
To this day, my mom's unsinkable spirit is an inspiration to me. For nearly thirty years, she's worked at the Library of Congress. Everyone knows Sameha simply as 'Sami.' Along with 500 miles of shelved books, her closest friendships are cataloged in that library. They are as much the value of work to my mom as is the work itself. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I can't remember a time when my mom didn't work. She has forever been on the move: a go-getter. When my brother Adel and I had a paper route as kids, my mom would get up before us at the crack of dawn to drop off the Washington Post at different corners. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
My mom was always pretty supportive. She saw me do plays and she'd always act out the parts I did. My aunt, who played a big part in my life, was a little bit more reserved, because if they don't see you on TV every week they think you must be starving. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Well, when I was a little girl we had 17 cats once. They all lived outside, and they kept having more kittens. My mom made us put little ribbons around each kitten's neck, put them in a wagon, and go door-to-door around the neighborhood to try to give them away. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I saw things at an early age because my mom was a theater actress. I did a play with her when I was 10 years old. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
If I made a list of the people I admire, Mom would probably fill up half of it. She could do anything and everything. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
My mom is very Southern and she in real life says things like, 'If you've got it, flaunt it.' Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
