I want to tell the stories of working mothers-domestic workers, often immigrants. Invisible and champions of survival against what often appears to be relentless toil, mothers are undervalued and never genuinely appreciated. They sacrifice their well-being, needs, and dreams. They convey pride and cultural richness despite systemic and pervasive gender and race inequalities. Persevering against all the odds, meeting every challenge without question, already living in poverty, they do not complain. They always fear losing their jobs. Women are in the lowest-paid work, often without benefits, usually in the most insecure and precarious work forms. And, women do at least twice as much unpaid care work.
My objective is to pay homage to the working mother and portray the positive aspects of the quiet beauty and pride in their hearts in hopes of a better future for their children. You are invited to look in, within, and without judgment.
