Pivoting on Pins and Needles - the life of caregiver Erika Watson

J Smiles and Erika have been thick as theives for over 20 yrs. Howard University and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority cemented their relationship. But as only kids who love to travel, who appreciate fine dining, who have never missed a proper brunch and who seamlessly merge Rosé with a Rick Ross beat... they take the listener on Erika's abrupt realization of her mom's cognitive decline as if recounting one of their jaunts in Washington, D.C. Erika's dry wit mixes very well with J's storytelling. Even though Erika is typically private, J Smiles, eases her into revealing one detail, one day at a times. Eventually we learn of Ms. Watson's membership in the sandwich generation. Often exhausted, confused and forced to execute under duress, Erika pivots with passion because her mom needs her. Several stories leave J gasping for air - grateful for levity.###Tune-in every Monday for Parenting UP!
