16. Building an Online Village with Tika Sumpter & Thai Randolph
Listen now
Description
There’s never been a more important time for an online village than right now when we’re in the midst of a pandemic, which is why I was super excited to speak with actor and producer Tika Sumpter (ABC’s Mixed-ish) and award-wining business executive Thai Randolph (EVP and GM of Kevin Hart’s Laugh Out Loud) for their new venture Sugaberry, a lifestyle brand created for modern moms of color. Sugaberry celebrates all aspects of the brown mom experience through a curated mix of editorial, original audio and video programming, interviews, newsletters, live event series, thoughtful product recommendations, and a bi-weekly podcast, The Suga. Tika and Thai came up with the idea after being frustrated with the lack of online hubs for African American moms during their own pregnancies. In this episode we discuss parenting styles, the importance of finding a village that lets Black women be light and fun, and our goals for raising free Black children.

Raising a liberated Black child ain’t easy. Not only do we have to decolonize our minds, but we have to make sure they aren’t indoctrinated into white supremacy. We also have to help decolonize our communities because why would we do all that work just to send them out into an unconscious...
