"People who knew my Grandmother, or knew of her, expected me and my siblings to behave the same way. Those high expectations inspired us to try to live our lives in the same accomplished and gracious way that Mamau-which is what we called her-lived her life. She would also make sure we heard from her if she disapproved of our clothes or our manners!"
