March 1st, 1995. Geraldo Rivera’s namesake talk show brings us cold hard realities in maternal relationships, some good and some bad.
“How about your father, did you have a father figure in your life?”
“Yes I did, and he was the same way…”
Among the mom and daughter teams we meet Sozumi and Kiki two prostitutes, Luci and CC who pull cons together, Charmaine and Champagne street hustlers as well as Diane and Julia Loomans authors of ‘Full Esteem Ahead’, a book about building self esteem. As the conversation between these two very different sides continues a crux seems to be that the authors never lived lives like the women on stage, so how could they relate? Audience questions come in towards the end of this segment.
This day, Geraldo’s Television History.
