Summary
This week I am joined by the founder of Black Mom Blog and pioneer of black motherhood and self-care Shanica Boswell. You'll hear about the shaming of single mothers sending their child to stay with their fathers, the benefits of a doula, and trying to have a natural birth after having a C-section.
This episode isn't only for women with babies or who are currently pregnant, but it's an episode for everyone to get an inside look at the journey and obstacles or pregnancy and parenting.
