Part 1/12:
Tracing the Heartbreaking Legacy of a Singaporean Family Rooted in Survival and Sacrifice
A Personal Journey into Family History and Societal Practices
In a poignant exploration of intergenerational trauma, resilience, and societal customs, a narrator delves into the complex story of their grandmother, known affectionately as Mimi or Mama. With a career spanning 14 years as a singer, songwriter, and actress, the narrator admits that their personal success has often come with the burden of rejection and hardship. Yet, a deep inspiration is inherited from their grandmother—a woman who endured unimaginable hardships, including being sold as a child, yet grew up nurturing a family of eight children with profound love and tenacity.
