Serena Williams Understands The Power Of Honesty Thanks To Her Mom Oracene Price: “Without my mother, I wouldn't have the courage to speak the truth. My mom has always been super honest with me — in fact, I don't know if she’s ever even told a lie. That probably explains why I'm so honest and why I just say what is real, whether it's advocating for women's rights or whatever issue I'm passionate about. Sometimes the truth has to be loud and clear.” -Bustle (2020)

Kerry Washington Learned To Break Stereotypes From Her Mom Valerie Washington - Kerry Washington: “One of the things I witnessed growing up was that my mom was very aware — as a black woman, as an academic, as the daughter of immigrants — she was aware of the assumptions that people would make about her, and she would play with those assumptions. Not in an aggressive way, but she liked to watch people try to figure her out and she liked to not fit into a box.”-NPR (2020) (Photo by Brad Barket/ Getty Images) (Photo by Brad Barket/ Getty Images)

Michelle Obama Praises Her Mom Marian Shields Robinson’s Parenting Skills - Michelle Obama: “My mother is a woman who chooses her words carefully. She’ll sometimes speak in clipped sentences, her wisdom packed into short bursts and punctuated with an infectious smile or a wry laugh. It’s a style that makes her a favorite of everyone she meets — a sweet, witty companion who doesn’t need the limelight.As I’ve grown older, I’ve seen how her manner in conversation also reflects her approach to parenting. Because when it came to raising her kids, my mom knew that her voice was less important than allowing me to use my own.”- People Magazine (2019) (Photo by ROBYN BECK/AFP/GettyImages) (Photo by ROBYN BECK/AFP/GettyImages)
