Raising Our Voice in Life's Transitions


Listen Later

Storyteller and news media veteran Jenna Hanchard is no stranger to advocating for herself - she's had to all her life. After giving birth to her first child in the throes of the Covid-19 pandemic, Jenna learned what building a birth and postpartum support system truly meant. She advocated for connecting and resourcing Black mothers and Black doulas.

She understood that, by the time her second child was about to be born, she needed to be surrounded by those who would honor her wishes, bring both her and her partner's cultural perspectives into the room, and support her first-born as they all started a new chapter as a family of four. 

Jenna and her 8-week old son joined us for a glimpse into motherhood in the delirious and wonderful moments of a new family being born - sleepless nights, big feelings, and more.
