Singer/songwriter Anthony Hale sits with me as we talk about being brave as we follow our dreams, love, family, and life. 

Today, I join Counselor Enjoli Ford to talk about the culture of therapy in the Black Community and how generational curses CAN be broken. 

Dania and I started our journeys together by attending the same doula certification course. I caught up with her a year later to see the growth in her many businesses. How can someone so young have so much drive? Dania, in her own way, has inspired me to work harder. 

I chat with my friend, Shanda Domango Brown, about how life has changed after having twins! We chat about the journey into motherhood while being a hustler and how life has a way of balancing you. 

Back-to-back graduate student spotlights! Naomi chats with the fabulous Katie Thompson, clinical psychology PhD student at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill about body image concerns beyond the teenage years--midlife, postpartum, menopause, and more. Along these lines, Naomi and Katie also discuss how much our culture pressures us to not allow our bodies to change. There's a major disconnect between what the world tells us to look like and biological reality.

What got you through the hardships of your childhood?

When Tammica Dowd was young and living in a group home, at times she’d be locked in a closet by a counselor. In order to keep her mind strong and pass time, she envisioned what she wanted for her future.

-Graduate high school.

-Marry her dream guy.

-Have five children who’d never go through what she went through.

-Go to Maui.

-Win a Grammy.

All her goals but one were achieved! (But don’t count her out for that Grammy.)

She did not see divorce coming. 

Now, as a single mother of five young children, she has advice and experience to share, including how helping her children through life events has allowed for personal healing.

Sometimes healing comes with helping someone through the experience that caused our trauma. 

Join me and Tammica Dowd, as she speaks to the shame of single motherhood.

It's the 9th year of Black Breastfeeding Week. Black Breastfeeding Week aims to end the gaping racial disparity in breastfeeding rates while also encouraging diversity in the lactation field.

Kimberly Seals Allers, co-founder of Black Breastfeeding Week, said “We must end the dangerous conversation of breastfeeding as a 'choice' without a deeper discussion as to how Black women's choices are shaped by their circumstances.”

On This episode Kendra share why Black Breastfeeding Week is important to her. 

Nyssa's Mia Clarke speaks to design thought leaders and historians Michelle Fisher and Amber Winick. They are collaborating on an incredible book and exhibition launching later this year, Designing Motherhood, which features more than eighty designs—iconic, archaic, quotidian, and taboo—that have defined arc of human reproduction. In this episode, Michelle and Amber discuss the designs that have profoundly shaped the motherhood experience, from the creation of the first at-home pregnancy test (invented by a woman, Margaret Crane), to the Finnish Baby Box to clear screens for c-sections births and much more.

You can read more about the Designing Motherhood project here and check out the excellent accompanying Instagram here.

For the final episode of the season, Nyssa's Mia Clarke speaks to Miyhosi Benton, senior associate with New York City's Women & Justice Project, a non-profit organization that advances the leadership and narrative power of women directly impacted by incarceration to transform the criminal justice system. Miyhosi experienced pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum during her period of incarceration and was illegally shackled despite a 2009 law designed to protect women from this barbaric practice. Miyhosi was a leader in the successful campaign to pass the 2015 Anti-Shackling law banning the shackling of incarcerated pregnant women in New York State, the most progressive law of its kind in the nation. 

You can read more about Miyhosi and the Women & Justice Project here and here.
