| 摘要： | When you think about the women you have known in your life, who stands out? Who inspires you? Who exemplifies courage? Who has vision? Who leads from the front? My maternal grandmother, Janice Dorothy Smollen Goff, is at the top of my list. Born in 1908 in a small town in Texas, USA, Dotsie was a trailblazer, always pushing boundaries and embracing the colors and flavors of life. She and my grandfather lived in Cuba in the 1930s where she learned Spanish and a love of Cuban culture. She lived in New Orleans, LA, USA and San Antonio, TX, learning to cook regional cuisines. She fed the needy during The Great Depression. She was a journalist, a feminist, and a champion for people of color. She was one of the first women to serve on a grand jury in Galveston County, TX. Widowed in her 50s, she lived a rich life until she passed away at the age of 100. Dotsie had strength and fortitude in her genes. Her mothers father and grandfather tragically died one day apart when my great grandmother was 9 years old, forcing my great-great grandmother to support the family by running their farm on the Texas frontier. She simply did what was necessary and broke the mold along the way. |
