June Remus, also known as Mama June or Big Mama, is a Black female from Des Moines, Iowa. At the time of this interview, Remus was a retired caregiver living in Minnesota. This is the second of two oral histories the Tretter Collection holds between Jenkins and Remus. In this oral history, Remus speaks at length about language and identity, the mentorship she provides within her communities, her romantic and family relationships, racism, and colorism. She also touches upon her spirituality, end-of-life care work, her encounters with healthcare, and her experiences stripping in clubs located in the Twin Cities during the 1970s.
