Gwen Johnson defines the role of female elders as being a source of wisdom and comfort to younger generations by guiding rather than prescribing advice. As the Executive Director of Hemphill Community Center, located at the site of a former coal camp in central Appalachia, and an BSc. and MSc. in Psychology, Gwen has been an important anchor within her community throughout a number of difficult challenges experienced in the past decade. Listen to hear more about Gwen’s mamaw magic as we discuss the importance of passing down folklore and traditions, the proactivity of grandmothers during devastating flash floods of 2022, and the value of an inclusive and tolerant community for raising younger generations.
