AWAS 038: Raising Black Girls and Prepping for Mother’s Day

As mothers of two beautiful girls, Mimi and ABM have a front row seat to the blessings and the challenges to raising girls. The media can portray young black and brown girls to be mouthy, bossy, ugly and worse. On this show, the ladies talk about the secrets to raising strong black girls in the face of how the world views them. On the second segment, ABM and Mimi reveal their mutual ambivalence about Mother’s Day. The holiday triggers memories of personal loss, their children's’ losses and those of their birth mothers. Although they are grateful for the opportunity to be mothers, their respective journeys to motherhood shape the way they view the holiday devoted to this role.   In the Wind Down, Mimi and ABM reminisce about when they were little girls. Before you know it they are in a time machine back to when they were cheering and wearing church socks.   Find show notes at addwaterandstirpodcast.com;  Tweet Us @AWASPod
