WhatsApp Groups, Botox & Teenage Drama — Just Another Week in Motherhood

From the chaos of group chats to the quiet moments of self-doubt that every mother knows, this episode of Black Mums Up Front is a full, unfiltered celebration of Black motherhood in all its complexity. Carina, Natalie, and Nana-Adwoa get real about marking Mother's Day on their own terms — prioritising self-care, community, and joy. They bust myths around Botox and ageing gracefully, swap hilarious stories about sibling rivalries and protective brothers, and navigate the very real challenges of teenage independence, bedtimes, and knowing when to let go. The conversation goes deeper too — co-parenting boundaries, communication with exes, keeping the spark alive in long-term relationships, and the importance of affirming yourself as a good mother, even when the doubt creeps in. Funny, heartfelt, and refreshingly honest — this one's for every Black mum who's ever done it all and still shown up.

We Took a Break (Life Didn’t)

After nearly two years (yes… two whole years 🙃), we’re finally back behind the mics. In this episode, the Black Mums Upfront ladies reunite for a proper catch-up...the kind you have when life has really lifed. We talk about where we’ve been, what we’ve been navigating, and how much has changed. From personal growth and shifting identities, to grief, loss, and the quiet strength motherhood demands when nobody’s clapping for you. It’s honest. It’s warm. It’s a little chaotic (because when are we ever not?). There are laughs, there are reflective moments, and there’s that familiar energy of friends who’ve seen each other through it all. If you’ve been stretched, strengthened, humbled, healed (and still expected to show up), this one will feel like home. 🤎

I Had A Baby, I'm Depressed

Postnatal Depression affects 1 in 10 women following the birth of their baby - So it was about time that the BMU ladies finally sat down to face the very normal problem that creeps up on so many of us... including our Lauren who shared her shocking experience of it. But to make sure we gave you the best advice possible, we were joined by the fabulous GP, Dr Katie Benhura, who shared information on the causes of PND, dealing with it, and seeing hope for the future. https://instagram.com/blackmumsupfront https://instagram.com/natsduv⁠ ⁠https://instagram.com/_carinawh⁠ ⁠https://instagram.com/nanaadwoambeutcha

No New Friends

Who's your Ride or Die? Are you Thelma or Louise? Do you have that one friend who just gets you and you would do anything for?? Or, are friendships fleeting and seasonal for you, but provide what you need for that given time? "New" friends, Natalie, Carina and Nana-Adwoa, are joined by Natalie's BFF, Endy, to discuss friendship and sisterhood. With differing opinions, will their friendship still be strong by the end of the podcast?

Is It Appropiate?

Which BMU sister is saying no to playdates and sleepovers; Who has no interest is mixing with other school mums; And who has no problem with their child sitting on the lap of their ex's new partner? Natalie, Carina and Nana-Adwoa go head to head in the latest episode, realising that they really do have different parenting styles, perhaps because of the way they were parented themselves. And one of the girls surprises us all!

Stop Damaging Our Daughters

Trigger Warning. This episode we discuss the horrific case of :-Child Q, a fifteen year old girl who was unjustly stripped searched by Metropolitan police officers after teachers accused her of smelling of cannabis. Child Q – who was having her period at the time – was made to remove her clothing, underwear and a sanitary pad, spread her buttocks and cough. Child Q is Black. This week we delve into why Black girls are not afforded the same innocence as their white counterparts. Are schools doing enough? Should we be warning young girls about the police? And how can we protect our daughters? Join Carina, Natalie and Endy as we share our own experiences and ask what we can learn from this gross misconduct. 🚫 ⁠https://instagram.com/blackmumsupfront⁠ https://instagram.com/natsduv⁠ ⁠https://instagram.com/from_the_endz⁠ ⁠https://instagram.com/_carinawh⁠

The Men In Slap

Did Will Smith honour his wife by slapping Comedian Chris Rock who made a distasteful joke about her? Or did Smith cross the line and display unhinged violence? It has divided the opinion of many but was there a deeper side to it? In a BMU first, Nana-Adwoa and husband, Donald, and Lauren and partner, Ryan, discuss the deeper side of committed relationships and one of the men owns up to doing the same thing for his woman once. ⁠https://instagram.com/blackmumsupfront⁠ ⁠https://instagram.com/natsduv⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://instagram.com/_carinawh⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://instagram.com/nanaadwoambeutcha⁠
