Hello and welcome to the Get Your Globe at podcast, a wellness podcast for months.

This is episode five with Candice Brathwaite.

Candice is a mummy blogger, influencer and founder of Make Motherhood Diverse,

an online initiative that aims to encourage a more accurately representative

and diverse depiction of motherhood in the media. In today's episode, we talk about diversity in

the mummy blogger space, being the breadwinner, how she manages two kids and her own

amazing business, her traumatic birth story, why she wants to be the next Oprah,

and we talk a lot about an article she wrote how black mothers are disproportionately more likely to die in childbirth

and why we need to address the race gap in motherhood. It's an amazing episode. I think I have to say

it's my favourite. I think Candice is a total breath of fresh air. I adored being with her. She

totally lit up my life and I know she's going to light up yours too. I hope you enjoy the episode.

Let's bring on the fabulous, the wonderful Candice.

Welcome Candice.

Hi.

Mouthful of tea.

We are currently sitting in my, well, it's kind of a living room slash dining room slash kitchen, my open plan area,

drinking chamomar tea, eating banana bread. It's so good though. And just having a good time.

Yeah. It's so good. I have to stop looking at it. Yes. You're welcome to keep going.

No, I'm great. I'm great.

A bit tired, though.

Are you?

Yeah. RJ's teething.
