On October 2, 2014, my beloved mother, Rose Danticat, died, after a long and difficult battle with ovarian cancer. The grief was nearly impossible to bear until I remembered some very important lessons Mom had taught me. This past June, I was asked to speak when I had the great honor of receiving an honorary degree from Brooklyn College. It was the same day that Dr. Maya Angelou died and the ninth anniversary of the day my father was buried. I did my best that day to share one of the most important lessons these three incredible people had taught me: be courageous, be brave.
