Synopsis

Most of all, I remember you, my offspring of all colors in all corners of the earth.

Let me remind you of our timeless bond. …

Long ago, our homeland cradled us, sheltered us, fed us, and eventually sent us off, as mothers do, confident our gifts would shine. Now, she croons to us a melody of love, reminding us of our bond with her and with one another.

You Are My Pride is a remarkable celebration of a mother’s love for her children and of our common humanity. It is a song from our past and a promise for our future.
