This episode I’m opening up my platform and sharing the mic with a few of my biggest supporters of The Mama Mogul Podcast. We are amplifying our own Melanated voices in regards to Racism, Injustice, Micro Aggressions, Colorism, oppositions we face in the workplace and more as it relates to being a black woman and black mother. These are our experiences and we don’t apologize for sharing our authentic stories. We hope this recording will be light along the path to black women being valued, heard, seen and accepted for who we are and not who you want us to be. Thank you for tuning in and please follow my fellow Sister friends that courageously opened up their time to share the mic with me.
