The Secret Lives of Black Mothers
When I scheduled this latest conversation for the Woke Mommy Chatter podcast. It was meant to be three people talking about the idea of achievement being equated to ‘acting white’ and the phrase ‘Oreo cookie’ that is hurled at Black kids who don’t fit the ‘stereotype.’ This episode does talk about that issue, but myContinueContinue reading “The Secret Lives of Black Mothers”
The one where we talk about Princess Truly…because representation matters
I don’t know any black parent who doesn’t struggle to find books with characters that their child can relate to. So that’s why when I came across the book I am Truly. I snapped it up. I picked it purely on instinct. I looked at the cover and saw a little black girl and thought,ContinueContinue reading “The one where we talk about Princess Truly…because representation matters”
NO- I will never just ‘move on’ from Slavery.
Who the hell does David Cameron think he is? If I hear one more person say that black people should move on from slavery I’m going to loose my mind.

There’s nothing wrong with being proud to be black
So apparently black pride is a threat the FBI feels the need to name and deal with. I know some people hate the term Woke. It’s overused. It’s also used in the wrong context and yes it’s become commercialized. I’m sure you’ve seen the t-shirts. But despite that I still like it. And for meContinueContinue reading “There’s nothing wrong with being proud to be black”
