The Dope Black Mums discuss baby loss in an honest and heartfelt episode for baby loss awareness week. 15-25% of recognised pregnancies don’t go full term, yet it is often a subject that remains in the dark. In a society where death is already taboo, how do you deal with it when it comes hand in hand with the joy of preparing for a new life? Dope Black Mum Nana-Adwoa and guest Jess Elliot open up and share generously their own personal experiences of losing a baby. These hero dope women leave you feeling touched, moved and inspired by their bravery, honesty and resilience. We feel privileged to hear their stories and know you will too.

The Dope Black Mums discuss bikini waxing, chin plucking and the importance of Spanx in this week’s revealing episode. As Black women the Eurocentric beauty ideal is already a tricky path to navigate - add the ‘post baby bod’ into the mix and even the most confident amongst us can be left feeling exposed. Join the Dope Black Mums as they bare all and talk openly about the body hang ups that haunt them - from saggy boobs to stretch marks to grey hairs. Let’s keep this episode on the down low!

Ever wondered about the mindset of the man with numerous side chicks? The one who can’t commit? Or be faithful? This week the Dope Black Mums are joined by reformed self-proclaimed player, galis and ladies man Theo Manderson.  Join us as we hear first hand how he juggled so many women, why he and so many men behave like this and what it was that made him change for good. Don’t worry ladies we went IN on your behalf! This week’s insightful pod will be an eye-opener, to say the least.

Back by popular demand! DOES MUM REALLY KNOW BEST? PART 2. So the Dope Black Mums’ pearls of dope black wisdom are needed once again. Join them as they answer real life questions from women facing some even trickier dilemmas... Is it wild (or wack) to date a 19 year old when you are a 30 year old mother of 2? Should you cancel your Day One over a Wedding Day? And can you REALLY ask a man’s salary on a first date?

With ‘mixed ethnicity’ being the fastest growing ethnic group in the last two decades Dope Black Mums explore the realities of both being mixed and raising mixed children. This week the Dope Black Mums are joined by Steph Adjei, a dope white Anglo/Scottish mum raising two mixed children as they discuss identity, fetishising, blending cultures and yes, coping with that hair. A podcast and a half, if we do say so ourselves.

To educate or to home educate? That is the question... on this week’s pod anyway! While some of us are counting down the days until we can drop our dope kids back to school, others (actually around 48,000) are avoiding the system altogether and choosing to home educate. Today we’re joined by Deborah and her husband Dwaine who are expert home educators. They open up as to why they and so many other dope black parents are doing it themselves, including our very own co-host Nana-Adwoa. Should we all consider taking the leap? Do you think you can educate better than a mainstream school? Dope Black Mums weigh the pros and cons of home education.

What is the worst date you’ve been on? Is sex on the first date a no-no or a yes-yes? And does it get easier in your thirties? Let’s face it, dating is hard. For anyone. But when you are a dope black mum it can be a minefield. In this episode, the Dope Black Mums compare dating from days gone by to the current world of Tinder, Bumble and ghosting’ Nothing is left unsaid in this funny (and at times filthy) podcast! Pour a glass of pinot and make a date with us…

Yes, we know that dope black mums are superheroes with the super human strength of a Wakanda warrior - but sometimes even superheroes can feel like they can’t go on. Being a mother can be hard. Fo’ real. So how do you cope when parenting takes its toll? Who do you lean on when everyone seems to be leaning on you? And what do you do to replenish the well when the drought hits. In this episode the Dope Black Mums keep it real as they discuss how to survive the moments when just being able to cope is as dope as it gets.
