What Do You Mean By That?

119: Moms, How Whyte Are Your Circles? With Larisa Courtien


Listen Later

Mamas, here's a real question for you: How Whyte are your spaces?

We write that word that way because the censors seem to be limiting our ability to write it as w-h-i-t-e without being hurt by the algorithms.

But really, when we talk about a summer of action, we mean starting within your very own spheres of influence. And as moms, we have a lot of influence. So let's start by looking at our own circles!

What to listen for:

  • What Larisa's experiences of being a woman of color in mothering circles have been like
  • How Heymama, a fantastic international network of moms, has made a point to embrace inclusivity - and what they've done to make these changes
  • Advice for mom communities on what to think about when you're considering being more inclusive

About Larisa and HeyMama:

Larisa Courtien is the Senior Director of Partnerships and Experiences at Heymama, a private, inclusive community for working moms who are building their careers and families. #HeyMama
