  1. HOST JACKIE TANTILLO - I Am My Mother's Vengeance with Guest Ritzy Periwinkle 31:32

My guest, Ritzy Periwinkle, host of the podcast “Word To Your Mama,”  survived her mother’s abusive partner but at a very young age, she believed she was powerful enough to harm him in order to save her mother.   At a young age,she knew she wouldn’t repeat her mother’s choice to stay in an abusive relationship but her mom often felt helpless with all her limitations as a female immigrant and a middle school Education.

Ritzy says, “because of  all of our limitations, my mom and I were always the underdog.”  Because of this philosophy, Ritzy says she’s a supporter of  culture, justice and diversity, a topic she often discusses on her podcast.  She always speaks up for those less fortunate and don’t have a voice.

Because of the choices her mom made, Periwinkle is thriving in part because of Therapy and wants everyone to know that there is help out there.  “If we share our stories, we can help each other and make some real change,”says the WTYM podcast host.

“My mother was sweet, loving and a caring person who suffered a lot,” says  Periwinkle. She thinks that her mother would be very proud of her and all that she’s accomplished.

Periwinkle says “she is her mother’s vengeance.”
