- 31. Dear Dope White Mum
This episode is an emergency response to the state sanctioned murder of black men - which we have all witnessed yet again with the filming of George Floyd. It is an emergency response to the systematic racism that exists in the UK as well as the US. Every one of these perpetrators was once a young child - raised by a mother. This is a heartfelt plea to white mothers everywhere. It is honest. It is angry. It is desperate. We need the next generation to do better. We don’t have all the answers, but we know we have to start with some real talk, some discomfort - and each other.

- 29. When Is It Too Late To Have A Baby? - Part 1
An Infertility and Egg Donation Special with Dr. Edi-Osagie
We can have it all, apparently. Just not after age 36.
This week the Dope Black Mums are joined by fertility specialist and gynaecology consultant, Dr Edmond Edi-Osagie, as they delve into the world of infertility and egg donation.
Why are black women at a disadvantage when it comes to IVF? Should we be testing our egg count? Or should we be freezing our eggs?
In perhaps one of our most surprising and informative episodes to date, the Dope Black Mums learn the truth about fertility, IVF and egg donation. One thing is for sure, this is a conversation that is much needed and long overdue.

42 min - 27. The True Colour Of Colourism
Trigger warning - this podcast contains sensitive content which some listeners may find upsetting.
After the recent exposure of negativity against dark skinned black women on social media this week, the Dope Black Mums are joined by social worker, mental health advocate and award winning dope black mum, Tokunbo Koiki, as they unpack colourism and the cost it has on our children’s wellbeing.
The Dope Black Mums hear, first hand, the devastating effects of colourism, as Tokunbo opens up about her daughter’s hospitalisation after being tormented at secondary school over her dark skin complexion.
Why is colourism more rife than ever? What do our ‘preferences’ really say about our psyche? And what can we do as mothers to protect ur children from this harmful self hatred?
Join us for an urgent, important episode that shines a light on some ugly realities.
