    Episode 13: MWB: Holidaying Safely with The Littles during a Pandemic with Dr. Fáti

    As of December 13, we have reached a grim milestone in the United States with over 804,000 deaths as a result of COVID-19, the global pandemic affecting the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the loud and the meek, the strong and the weak.  COVID has struck across continents, race, gender, religion, economic status, political affiliations and faiths.   On this episode of Mommying While Black™, we sit down with Dr. Fátimat Okafor (aka Dr. Fáti) to dissect how to safely spend the holidays with our families and children.  You may recognize her face for going viral as the "Houston rapping bride" for spitting hot fire lyrics with her husband on their wedding day, but she is more than a gifted lyricist.  This doctor has beauty, brains, and bars.  Arguably, it's her brain that the most amazing asset of all to her patients.  Dr. Fáti is a pediatrician in Houston, TX--a state with second-highest number of reported deaths in the country second only to California.   Lean in as we chat with Dr. Fáti who has been examining "The Littles" on the frontlines daily.  We thank you for your service, Dr. Fáti! xoxo     That said, be well.  Travel Safe.  Stay vigilant.

    Episode 12: MWB: Breast Cancer Awareness

    On this episode of Mommying While Black™, we discuss the latest happenings, but get into October being Breast Cancer Awareness month.  According to the American Cancer Society's Cancer Facts and Figures for African Americans 2019 - 2021, "Among all racial/ethnic groups combined in the US, at least 42% of newly diagnosed cancers are potentially avoidable, including 19% caused by smoking and the 18% that are caused by a combination of excess body weight, physical inactivity, excess alcohol consumption, and poor nutrition."   Breast cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in African American women with eight states carrying the highest incidence rates in the US--Alabama, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, and Virginia.   Educate yourself by knowing your family history. Get screened early and often. Eat well.  Exercise daily.  Remove stressors. Keep GOD first. Mommying While Black IG @mommyingwhileblk www.mommyingwhileblack.com

    Episode 11: MWB on Abolishing Child Protective Services with Operation Stop CPS

    On this episode of Mommying While Black™, we sit down with Operation Stop CPS, an on-the-ground movement birthed through the awakening of two former child protective services caseworkers--Amanda and Tafarrah.  The mission of Operation Stop CPS is to dismantle the agencies created by CAPTA that operate in the systemic oppression that inflicts trauma and rips apart families daily.   How is this accomplished?   Operation Stop CPS created a roadmap titled, "Respond in Power Guide: A Parent and Caretaker Guide to the Child Protection System."  With over 20 years combined experience, Amanda and Tafarrah were tasked with investigating allegations of abuse and neglect.  That means that these women are fully-equipped to guide families on how to arm themselves with knowledge about their rights and what CPS can and, more importantly, cannot do.  For lack of knowledge, the people perish.   Arm yourself so you can protect your family.  Arm yourself so that you can share that knowledge with others.  Listen as MWB gets into this raw discussion with Amanda and Tafarrah (IG @operationstopcps).

    Episode 10: MWB on The "Medical Kidnapping" of A'mir & Aniyah

    This episode of Mommying While Black™ discusses how families are being ripped apart through a phenomenon known as legalized medical kidnapping.  If you live in America, are black, and have children under the age of 18, each trip you make the an urgent care, emergency room, standard pediatric visit puts your child/children under the lens of intense scrutiny and your family the casualties of medical kidnapping i.e. Child Protective Services (CPS) taking all minors in the household.  In far more sinister and gut-wrenching cases, parental rights are severed forever through the American judicial system.  Sadly, your family could be next. The American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) is the leading organization for physician board certification.  As such, ABMS provides the "expertise, insights and support to elevate the discipline of specialty medicine." (https://www.abms.org/about-abms/) .  In 2006, ABMS began to recognize the subspecialty in medicine known as child abuse pediatrics. Dayton Children's Hospital. May 31, 2021. A place and date that has forever changed the lives and trajectories of four human beings--A'mir and Aniyah so new to being Earth-side and Arianna and D'rontae--newly engaged, new entrepreneurs, new first-time parents, planning for a new life in Florida...the newness is now marred with trauma, baseless allegations, and excruciating emotional turmoil. In this episode, MWB sits down with Arianna Brooks, a mother fighting the state of Ohio and CPS to regain custody of her nearly 7-month-old twins, A'mir and Aniyah.  The twins were merely 2-months-old when both children were removed from the custody of Arianna and her husband, D'rontae.  This is the most heartbreaking story of a young entrepreneurial mother and father desperately exhausting all resources--financially, emotionally, spiritually, and physically to regain care, custody and control of their newborn babies. A GoFundMe has been set up to raise money for Arianna and D'rontae to retain competent, dedicated, and fearless medical experts to challenge CPS and the child abuse pediatrician's claim of physical abuse inflicted upon A'mir and Aniyah at the hands of their parents.  Please share their story and donate.  No donation is too small.  The family has a goal of $10,000 and are at $5,162.  Let's help them get there so they can bring their twins H O M E.  https://www.gofundme.com/f/3jsfq-please-help-reunite-this-family Listen as MWB gets into this raw discussion with Arianna (IG @forever_the_same_ari). #JusticeForAmir #JusticeForAniyah #JusticeForAmirandAniyah #BringOurBabiesHome Mommying While Black  IG @mommyingwhileblk

(https://www.abms.org/about-abms/) .  In 2006, ABMS began to recognize the subspecialty in medicine known as child abuse pediatrics. In this episode, MWB sits down with Brittany Budlove, a mother fighting the state of Florida and CPS to regain custody of her 2 1/2-year-old daughter, Teigan.  Teigan was only 9-months-old when she was taken away from her mother in December 2019.  Brittany was permitted 1-hour/week with Teigan and when the COVID-19 pandemic started in 2020, Brittany's visits became virtual visits with her beautiful, infant daughter.  By spring/summer 2020, the virtual visits ceased.  No criminal nor civil charges have ever been filed against Brittany.  However, the state of Florida found it justifiable to grant an expedited request to terminate Brittany's parental rights to Teigan. December 2021 will mark two LONG years since Brittany has had custody of Teigan or spent any meaningful amount of time with her always smiling, bubbly daughter.  A GoFundMe has been set up to raise money for Brittany to retain a competent, proficient, family law attorney and secure medical experts.  Please share Brittany's story and donate.  No donation is too small.  https://www.gofundme.com/f/get-justice-and-bring-teigan-home Listen as MWB gets into this raw discussion with Brittany (IG @britbrat0912). #JusticeForTeigan #BringTeiganHome Mommying While Black  IG @mommyingwhileblk

    Episode 8: MWB on Parenting--Proximity ain't presence, no.

    In this episode of Mommying While Black™ we sit down with Yolie, CEO of Freedom Architects, to discuss what is the investment and sacrifice it takes to be a present WHOLE parent.  Specifically, that proximity does not equal presence.  It's not enough to have your child in the same home as you without more or think that because you are financially providing for your children that this alone is all that is required.  Lean in as we discuss this in a raw, spur of the moment conversation.
