<p>We&#8217;re back with more maternal wisdom and Black Girl Magic. Mardra  Johnson Thomas is adamant that elders need to share with youth, and she  does just that. She is a licensed mortician, jazz vocalist and  professional actress&#8211; to name a few of the lives she has lived. She  reflects on growing up after Brown v. Board, being an Army brat, and  rejecting fear as a limiting factor, The stories of her grandmother, who  was enslaved, remind us how close that era is to today.<br><br>#BlackGirlMagic #Motherinlove #MaketheAdjustment #PissinginHighCotton #MardraThomas</p>
