Blackberry Memories: The Unforgettable Story of a Little Girl’s Foundation, Faith and Favor That Led Her to a Life of Joy From a World of Poverty
Blackberry Memories is an unforgettable American story of a little black girl growing up in rural Mississippi during the 1950’s and 60’s. Her story details the many challenges of gender and race during that era and beyond. Despite the many challenges, she details how her Foundation, Faith and Favor led her to a life of success and Joy from a world of poverty.
Blackberry Memories chronicles her life from the cotton fields of the Mississippi Delta to securing degrees from Alcorn State University, University of Minnesota Medical School, Morehouse School of Medicine and Emory University School of Public Health.
The book is dedicated to her mother, a well-known Mississippi quilter and includes a section showcasing many of her Mothers’ quilts and wall hangings.
Dr. Margarett Ann (Bachus) Wilson, M.D., M.P.H., in a word, indescribable! It is indeed an arduous commission, to summarize a woman you have known your entire existence, in one page. To condense her influence, intelligence, kindness, creativity, charisma, humility, poise, and grace to a few words, is more than a formidable task, but I shall endeavor.
Margarett Ann, as her family calls her, is not what she has been through. Her ability to transpose and transfix herself and her circumstances, for the betterment of those around her is supernatural. She radiates positivity in her every breath. She is the one who will push you to your limits and beyond what you believe you are capable of, while nurturing and supporting you.
