Black Motherhood & Mental Health

This is a special day mothers episode. When we look at this history of Black mothering, through a different perspective lens there is a lot of learning, unlearning and relearning to work on. In this episode, our founder Wanjiru, and her long-term friend Luizer discuss their journey growing up as African kids and how Luizer is now doing things differently with what she has come to learn about herself and her daughter. Enjoy this episode and we hope you learn a thing or two.

Trauma Talks

Trauma takes many shapes and forms and is different to everyone. There is no one clear definition as we take information and interpret it differently from one person to another. This tweet from Grace (Twitter: dreamsofskies) perfectly sums this up as a child who is impressionable also takes and interprets things differently as an adult would. Some may think that what we say or do around a child may not have an effect on them when in reality they do. We must take a step back in any given situation and choose our words carefully and think about the consequences that our words my give. Taking the time to come back from any given situation can allow us some time to analyze and possibly diffuse the tension as to not lash out due to emotions. In this special episode, Ciru Karanja has a conversation with Grace over the topic of trauma and how the actions we do can unintentionally traumatize someone due to them perceiving your actions in their own way.
