Carol talks with Tony and Emmy award-winning actress LaChanze about her most rewarding and challenging role yet—being the mother to her two daughters, who are now young adults. LaChanze raised her two girls on her own after losing her husband Calvin Gooding in the September 11, 2001 attacks.  She made this sudden parenting pivot with a steady focus on creating a bright future for her daughters and a determination to be her healthiest, best self in the process. In this lively and engaging conversation LaChanze shares why we must teach Black girls to be confident and develop their own voices, and offers ways to do this. You won’t want to miss the parenting and life insights LaChanze candidly shares with Carol in this episode!
