3. Helen Bauer and Thanyia Moore
Laura Smyth speaks to comedians Helen Bauer and Thanyia Moore about their mums.
Helen tells us about her mum’s spiritual connection to the Titanic, how Hitler inspired her childhood nickname and why her brother’s criminal arrests left her mum beaming with pride. Thanyia explains why her mum is on first-name terms with local gangsters, the deep symbolism of having a manicure and why making Jamaica proud was such an important part of her childhood.
In this series, Laura Smyth sits down with some incredible guests to find out about their mums and explore the many faces of ‘motherhood’. Join her for a nostalgic, shameless, cathartic ride that asks what (if anything) our folks have taught us.
