Grandmama Said, “Leave The Money on The Table” by Khadija Jackson:

Grandmama Said, “Leave The Money on The Table” is a bold, heartfelt, and unforgettable story about legacy, love, and the lessons passed down through generations of powerful women.

At the heart of this multigenerational, comedy-drama is Big Mama—a wise, no-nonsense matriarch who raised not just her children, but her grandchildren and half the neighborhood too. Her motto was simple: “Don’t ever be broke, and don’t ever be broken.” With cash stashed behind picture frames, under mattresses, and in coffee cans, Big Mama was always prepared. But more than money, she left behind a blueprint for survival, strength, and self-worth.

Through 25 powerful chapters, we meet the unforgettable characters of her bloodline—daughters, granddaughters, nosy neighbors, and even a messy old woman trying to snatch her man. But Big Mama wasn’t worried—because her real value was already secured. When her time comes, she leaves behind more than a will—she leaves a message, a mission, and money hidden in every corner of the home that love built.

This story is soaked in wisdom, laughter, drama, and truth. If you’ve ever had a grandmother who gave you life lessons with your Sunday dinner, this book is for you.

Because some women don’t just leave behind memories—they leave a movement.
