From a kitchen table, Jacoby Cochran learned some of the world's greatest and hardest lessons from his very first Chicago icon, Mamie Ferrell. In a series of stories, he'll share a few of those gems. This show is a celebration, memorial, and dedication to the black women (and now ancestors) whose shoulders Jacoby stands on.
