Description
This week’s episode with Adrienne Oliver holds a number of reflections on the experience of Black motherhood. We talk about Black mothering as an act of defiance, engaging in joy as resistance and the cosmic reparations we are hoping to seed through our very existence as a new age of Black mothers. We also unpack the truth and weight of the work and hopes we hold, for our generation and especially our children. I am full of joyful thanks to Adrienne for coming on this journey and sharing such deep truths. It is an episode that offers connection for Black parents and people and critical contemplations to cultivate understandings held by non-Black persons.
