I needed my relationship with my mother to fall apart so that I could fall apart. I needed to build that relationship back up so that I could build myself back up. It hasn’t been easy. This relationship has been the toughest one in my life and repairing it has been crucial. It makes me who I am and what I will become. All of my inner child healing has stemmed from my “mother wound”. It was in understanding my mother that I was able to fully understand myself. Naturally, it’s most intentional for me to set the foundation of Brown Girl Guilt with the person who has given me my foundation. The debut episode of Brown Girl Guilt is with none other than my mother, Manmeet who you’ll often hear me lovingly refer to as Meetay. I ask her what she gained and lost by becoming my mother at the age of 19 and what it means to be the mother of a bold, sassy, tenacious daughter -- that’s me!
