Loss and Found
Weems, Mary E.
International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v34 n6 p486-495 2021
Loss and Found is an autoethnographic, performative text which contextualizes Black mother/daughter relationships from a collective, cultural perspective informed by race, gender and class in the midst of life altering grief. The work is written in two reflexive voices that reflect the experiences of a bi-polar daughter and worried mother on a journey through what it means to deal with mental illness, homelessness and suicide surrounded by the silence of familial and societal apathy. Created as a performance-based workshop, Loss and Found encourages audience members to share their own stories of loss as a way to emphasize our human interconnectivity and the importance of working together toward healing.
