    The women of Maquis Park often take on the roles of both family and community members, blurring the lines between the two. This can be seen in the way they look out for each other, share resources, and provide emotional and physical support. For example, when one of the women, Essie, had a baby, she was immediately surrounded by a group of women from the park who took turns watching the baby, giving her advice and support.

The overlapping of these two definitions is integral to the lives of the women of Maquis Park and is a testament to the strength of their relationships and the power of their community.
