Summary

Author, journalist and TV presenter Candice Brathwaite joins Caggie in this episode to talk about motherhood, role models and manifestation. Candice is a mother of two and a force to be reckoned with. She began blogging in 2016 after seeing a lack of representation for young Black mothers, and since then her career has taken off at a pace that she admits even she feels alarmed by at times. She has written for the likes of Grazia, Harper's Bazaar, Stylist and Huffington Post, presented on TV show Lorraine, and authored two books including I Am Not Your Baby Mother and Sista Sister. She talks passionately about many issues Black mothers face including the statistics about how Black and Asian women are much more likely to die in childbirth in the UK than white women. Caggie and Candice discuss how she has managed to navigate a new, uncharted career path, her support system, and role models - the ones she saw in her childhood as well as the one she wants to be for her own children and for other Black women. --- Follow or subscribe to "Saturn Returns" for future episodes, where we explore the transformative impact of Saturn's return with inspiring guests and thought-provoking discussions.
