The MatriArch Podcast

This interview was done by Michael Tatasciore at EVERSANA Intouch—a Pharmaceutical Marketing company. During Black History Month, I was interviewed about the Black Woman Experience and how we can move forward given our continued political climate of removing Black History from schools, continued threats and shootings of our communities, book burnings, and so much more. Hear more about my background, the impact of multigenerational wisdom, the family implications of caring for a child with cancer, becoming an advocate for childhood cancer, starting my agency soon after my first daughter had become cancer-free, and birthing our second daughter, and how we can move forward from the present to further improving the black experience overall.

This episode entails the footprint left behind by the MatriArchs in our families. How we as black women can cultivate what they have taught us and shown us over the years. How we can get involved in our journey as Millennial MatriArchs and what we can do to carry on the legacy of those before us and how we can leave our own legacy. Share laughs, love and memories from our guest Precious Gunter, Esq. and MatriArch's host Ashley Washington.

A great conversation and perspective about being black, acting black and showing up black around the world. Particularly, views from the lands of Africa and America. In this episode you will follow the life and experience of Mbali Hlongwane from Durban, KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. 

Mbali moved to America at the age of 15 and was faced with a lot of adversity from both white and black culture in America. Follow her story of how she grew up, her social and cultural interactions and how God, her family and village helped her navigate it all through high school and College at Ohio State University gaining her Bachelor's and Master's Degrees. 

We want to welcome you to the MatriArch podcast. A sisterhood of "Legendary Black Queens in the making." 

In this welcome intro, host, Ashley Washington, takes a moment to begin the MatriArch Podcast journey with prayer. Prayer for the MatriArch journey, black mothers, sisterhood, support, and village. All of which encompasses a strength, history, and the future of the black movement that is upon us. 

So, take a listen in prayer with Ashley and join in to more episodes with topics important to our village.
