@GitanDjeli Really enjoyed 'Mother Wounds' - a fascinating & beautifully written piece about the extraordinary & often tragic lives of four generations of women, traced from India to indentureship in Mauritius between 1837 & 1925. I now thank my own mothers. #WeMarkYourMemory

@cwwriters shares stories of indentured labour in the anthology #WeMarkYourMemory
https://t.co/dEt6huqcrR
When #indentured labourers from #UP and #Bihar were taken to #British colonies, their only way to express their #pain of #separation was through #Bhojpuri folk #songs.
This #folk #tradition of #Birha songs continue even today.

My greatgrandmother was ‘married’ at the age of 9, returned home unhappy a few years later, her husband’s parents found him another childwife who died, he asked my ggmother again when she turned 18 (1922) they had 10 kids (new info/rectification to the piece in #WeMarkYourMemory)
What’s a cool bit of family history you know? Can be family of origin of family of choosing.
Always a good day to thank the ancestors #WeMarkYourMemory. To the mothers before me who freed themselves from indentured labour on the plantation one generation at a time
A big thank you to all those who spoke and performed at our #WeMarkYourMemory event last night in Guyana and to all those who attended, it was a great night with a lot of powerful words to think on. #CWConvo @MorayHouseTrust
