Today's topic is heavy but real. It's a topic that needs to be addressed and discussed. I get real candid and raw in this episode, sharing my struggle with miscarriage and why I believe we experience miscarriage in a different way from other women. NOT to say that our pain of miscarriage is more intense than other women, NO because ALL miscarriages are equally painful. But to say that Black women experience miscarriages differently. I also share tips and encouragement for those supporting women who have experienced miscarriage and those going through miscarriage. The cultural tidbit was to look up the Beyoncé interview from Elle magazine. And I also referenced the following articles on Black women and miscarriage. Article #1: "The Myths Surrounding Black Women and Miscarriage" by Ebony Magazine. Article #2: "Why Do Black Women Experience More Pregnancy Loss?" by Very Well Family.
