Hagar’s Daughters is looking for Black Christian Queer Moms or Black Christian Moms of Queer-Identified Children to dialogue with. We want to amplify Black Queer Mom voices on the regular, but also specifically in honor of Pride Month. We believe that Black Moms Matter and that includes Black Queer Moms. We would be honored to have you on the show. If you or someone you know is interested please email [email protected].

For every Black Mom, Black Woman, Black Man, and Anti-Racist lover of Black people, this is a must listen. In this episode Kadeisha pulls together a lament for Black folks. This episode so much embodies why the Hagar’s Daughters community was created. We talk here about what it means to lament the loss of black life. This episode is a space for collective grief, a prayer prayed for those who can’t seem to put into words their anger, and a space made to just sit with the rough and raw feelings we as a Black community are holding right now. For White folks, this episode might describe to you what it’s like to be exhausted and fear for your life and those you love when wrapped in Black flesh. If you are someone who is committed to the work of being an anti-racist ally, we recommend you listen in and learn how to offer space for those you say you are committed to being an ally to.

This is the episode you need to move from surviving to thriving. Here we introduce two sets of questions that will help you discover what you need to be well during this season and how to incorporate that into your life as a mom. This is all about developing our long-term self-care plan. Not a mom? Tune in anyway because these questions are great for anyone but even more specifically good for those who may not live alone or may be quarantining with another person and needing to navigate how to care for yourself when your plans are impacted by the presence of other people.

In this episode we discuss how God can show us how to mother our brown babies. Kadeisha shares a bit about how the Holy Spirit is guiding her in figuring out the how to’s of mom life, especially in the midst of a lack of supports (which many of us are experiencing due to the pandemic). We talk about the remedy to the truth that babies don’t come with a manual (spoiler alert: you have the Holy Spirit, that is your manual/your guide). If you are in need of some encouragement as you struggle through the daily how to’s, this episode is for you. Tune in for some encouragement, a message of grace and love, and a little prayer.

In this episode we discuss a few tips and suggestions for caring for yourself as a Mom during the COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss the necessity of being okay with just surviving right now and relaxing the standard around the pressure to thrive during the pandemic. We learn a few practical tips for self care ranging from taking a quick break for you to getting out and doing things together with your kids. No matter where you are in the pandemic, it's okay. It's okay to not be okay and it's okay to be well. We talk about affirming ourselves and reminding ourselves that "It's okay!" and how we can all use a little bit of self-compassion in this season. We read from Ecclesiastes 3 and explore for ourselves "what time is it FOR YOU?" as a way of thinking through what this season is requiring of us as moms in our individual lives and within our families. Finally, we share a prayer of lament and praise.
