As the Covid-19 threat descended, we – one African-American, one Japanese-American and me, a European-American – shifted our occasional long lunches of serious conversation and hilarity to the web. Tongue in cheek, we named ourselves the Wise Women and decided to explore our very different childhoods. We next turned to our parents’ lives and their values. The more we explored, the more fascinated we became. We have no idea where this will lead. A documentary video? A series of stories? A book? But most important, it has been a fascinating ride.
