About this Event
Join us as we welcome Dr. Wendy Osefo and help her launch the paperback of her memoir, "Tears of My Mother: The Legacy of My Nigerian Upbringing." Wendy will be meeting people and signing copies of her book right here at Uncle Bobbie's. You do not want to miss this!
DR. WENDY OSEFO is a Nigerian American political commentator, public affairs academic, philanthropist, and television personality. She is an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins School of Education. She is also a cast member on The Real Housewives of Potomac.
About the Book: In TEARS OF MY MOTHER, Dr. Osefo describes growing up as a first-generation American balancing two distinct cultures. She takes a critical look at the paradox of her mother’s parenting: approval conditioned by achievement. As a teenager, Dr. Osefo struggled to carve out her own identity while still walking the narrow path of her mother’s expectations. Unwavering family loyalty and obedience gave Wendy the road map to making it in America, but also drove a wedge between mother and daughter.
