What happens when the unsung heroes of our lives step into the spotlight, even if only through the memories we cherish? I’m Carmen Cauthen, and in this heartfelt episode of "Quiet, No More" I reflect on the profound influence of my mother, whose dedication as a community activist and educator has left an indelible mark on the social and educational fabric of Raleigh, North Carolina. Her strength and commitment to mentoring others, especially during pivotal social changes, have shaped who I am today. Join me as I recount personal stories of her impact and discuss plans for a commemorative dinner that celebrates her legacy and honors other remarkable yet unrecognized women who have tirelessly contributed to our community's growth.Acknowledging the invisible hands that guide our journey is a step towards understanding our roots. In the latter part of the episode, I urge you to reflect on the mentors, family members, and colleagues who have quietly influenced your path. These are the people who have inspired growth and opened doors in your professional and personal life. I invite you to share your stories of gratitude on social media, tagging me to create a tapestry of shared appreciation. Whether they are elders or younger individuals, these unsung heroes deserve recognition for their lasting impact. Let’s take the time to express our gratitude and honor the foundational figures who have paved the way for us all.====================================Carmen Wimberley Cauthen is an author, speaker, and lover of history, Black history in particular.
