"Black Girl"

My mom and me have fun together. We are always being petty with each other. What is petty you ask? It's when you go out of your way to do something that you really should have just let go and did nothing.  But sometimes we can't let it go, that's where the petty comes in.  On the other hand, my mom makes sure that I am aware of the things that are happening around me.  That is where real conversations come in.  I feel comfortable talking to my mom about everything.  
This podcast is to help families laugh and spark topics that will allow them to have real talk, tell me how you really feel.
