KCUR reached out to the community via broadcast and social media recently to ask people what traits of their mothers they see in themselves. People responded via email, Facebook posts and Tweets.

Reporter Alyson Raletz collected many of the responses for a story as part of the new “Tell KCUR” feature.

Tell KCUR is part of an initiative to engage the community and shine a light on your experiences and opinions. We’ll ask a new question every week and then share your feedback on the air and online. See our arsenal of questions — and your answers.

KCUR-FM is a service of the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
