Is there a difference between self-esteem and self-worth?
What does it mean to be a "high calibur woman"?

If you’d like answers these  questions, then you are in the right place!

It is no secret that motherhood is challenging!

This conversation with Kris Elle is designed to take a personal look,  into what it can feel like inside the Black Motherhood experience.

There are some markedly unique challenges that black mothers have to navigate and if you are interested in being educated about what those are, this episode with @thisblackhome is for you.

We also touch on some other topics throughout this discussion. Namely, the importance of being debt free, and the emotional experience for the black community within the context of this racially charged climate we are currently living through.

This beautiful and honest conversation gives insight and context to some of our struggles but also highlights the victories and gains that we are making in our cultural experience.
We can all grow and learn from each other!
