If you’ve been listening to Black Single Mothers by Choice, you’ve been here from the beginning the questions, the uncertainty, the early decisions, and the quiet courage it takes to choose motherhood intentionally.
This episode is a bridge...
When this podcast began, the focus was narrow and necessary: becoming a Black Single Mother by Choice, navigating fertility decisions, donor choices, dating, medical advocacy, and the early realities of parenting very young children. These conversations were raw, timely, and rooted in survival and discovery.
But life didn’t stop there. Motherhood kept moving and evolving and so did my podcasting.
Children grew. Capacity shifted. New questions emerged: about school-age parenting, identity, work, rest, boundaries, grief, joy, and what it looks like to live beyond the early trenches of solo motherhood.
The story continues under one home: Start to Finish Motherhood.
