Last nightâs Handmaidâs Tale Emmy panel left me shaken⌠and inspired.
Elisabeth Moss said something that pierced straight through me:
âAt its heart, the show is about how mommies always come back.â
That line.
As a mom of three boys, I felt that in my soul. No matter what chaos, what darkness, what oppressive systems try to separate us â we fight, we survive, and we come back. Because thatâs what mothers do.
The Handmaidâs Tale isnât just a dystopian drama. Itâs a warning. A reflection. A call to stay awake.
Gilead happened because people let it happen. Because they didnât fight hard enough. Because they didnât believe it could.
And here we are â watching rights be rolled back, womenâs autonomy questioned, and democracy tested.
Itâs fiction. And yet⌠not.
Iâve been told almost daily that I look like Elisabeth Moss â but last night, hearing her speak and sitting with the weight of the showâs message, I didnât just see the resemblance. I felt the mission.
We mothers?
We are the resistance.
We come back.
And we donât back down.
