Gratitude

Such a great podcast! So nourishing and *necessary* to see a mama of color in power bringing Her voice to these subjects. As a black-mixed race brith worker, these conversations are an invaluable enhancement to my experience. The wonderful array of guests totally open my heart with each word. Just the mothering, parenting, and woman-centered spirituality podcast I’ve been looking for. Plus, great theme music ;) Thank you Nehanda!
