“We underestimate the power of words. My mom had a simple conversation [with me]. It took no more than 15-20 minutes. Those words followed me for 18 years. It’s important to me as a mother and as a woman to pass on that legacy of conversation with our daughters. It’s good to train our daughters on etiquette and how to live in the world. Its also important to teach them how to take care of their bodies inside and out.” - Maimah Karmo Watch Maimah Karmo’s latest appearance on Oprah’s Where Are They Now which aired in September 2016.
