Why is it that when dad takes the kids for the day it’s “babysitting,” but when mom has the kids it’s just… well… parenting? As modern mamas, it’s our job to reject that dusty, antiquated way of thinking and make sure our identities aren’t lost once we have babies.

Today, I welcome Simone Shepherd, an Instagram and TikTok superstar, actress, comedian, and mama to a beautiful little boy.

Tune in and listen to episode 63 of Mamaste with Tanika Ray. Simone and I are talking about  Black girl magic, her teammate relationship with her husband, and how her step-daughter taught her how to be a mother.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

• About Simone’s husband and their incredible bond (05:22)
• Why Simone chose her son’s name, Prince Keraun (09:52)
• Simone’s crazy, traumatic, beautiful birth story (13:42)
