Major Project

While reading the book Sula, many questions pondered my mind about mother/daughter

relationships. By having my great-grandmother still in my life, it hit me to do a project about

generational love being passed down throughout generations. Throughout the interview, we get

different views of being loved differently. Sitting down for an interview with my great-

grandmother, grandmother, and mother was more than just a conversation—it was a journey

through generations of love, resilience, and wisdom. As each person spoke, their words wove a

tapestry of care and strength, revealing how deeply love had shaped their lives and how

intentionally they had passed it down. As a black teenage girl, receiving love within your family

especially from your mother is very hard to receive. I wanted to get the point of view of them

getting love from one another. Hearing each person's answer and comparing it to the person

before was mind blowing. Ultimately, you can see the progress that has been made within our

family.

Seeing each woman express their feelings about love and show how they portrayed love

was shocking. Knowing each of them personally and not really hearing about their feelings all

my life, it showed me a different side of them. My mother’s interview really stuck out to me. In

the interview, you can tell that she is definitely doing some generational changes making love

and affection more known in her family. Talking with them made me realize that ultimately, love

was passed down, it was just shown differently. Being an African American girl, love isn’t

shown much towards us so giving that same love to your daughter can be hard. This interview

has made me proud and shown proof that love in our family is strong, steady, and always

evolving.

  Terrolyn Woodridge   Professor Harris  ENGL 2017  29 April 2025  Love of a Woman  By the end of Salvation, bell hook stated that she still sees rap and R&B artists as people  who work against love ethics. However, I believe that many of those artists use music as a way  to either express issues in pursuing love ethic or their journey in achieving love ethic. In the  novel, hook explored how black women have been described to have many different roles in love  ethics and the search for liberation. I will use music to show different examples of songs that  show the different roles women play in love ethics and the search for liberation.  Mama Love   • "A Song for Mama" - Boyz II Men  • "Superwoman" - Alicia Keys  • “I’ll Be There” - Mac Miller, Phonte  Hook believed that we should look towards single mothers when looking for examples of  love ethic, though I don’t believe that single mothe...

  Victoria Jones ENGL2017 Dr. Harris May 1, 2025 Major Project The aspect of Love and Liberation that I will discuss is the practice of self-love and self-acceptance. bell hooks describe love ethics as a form of freedom and expression that all individuals should utilize in order to prosper, but it is always an option. To me, in order to achieve love ethics, people must first love themselves, find peace within, and accept life for what it is. Internal love is more than just self love because all love reveals itself externally. What happens on the inside is what’s displayed on the outside. Peoples’ principles, ideals, perspectives, and even love experiences change for the better when they truly love themselves first. It provides a sense of freedom and a form of relief. I have created a mixtape that pushes self-confidence, inner peace, loving what is given and even religious aspects of how one can properly grow in a space that is called life.   My first song is “...
