A Tribute to Black Motherhood
In part three of this bonus podcast series where we are paying tribute to Black motherhood, I am joined by Marcie Alvis-Walker, Patricia Taylor and Nya Abernathy as they discuss the Black Motherhood in Media. Not only do they share their own experiences growing up and the Black mothers in media that influenced them but also share their passion for having more representation of Black women and girls in media today. They talk about raising daughters under the heavy influence of whiteness all around them and the very real struggle they face as Black mothers keeping their children’s dignity fully intact. Book bans, censorship and teaching our children more accurate history is also discussed.
Because Black women have a history of not getting paid for their time and work, we would like to honor each of the guests for this series and compensate them for their time. We are asking listeners to donate minimum $1 for each episode they download and listen to in this series. Money can be given via Venmo to @herstoryspeaks and all money given in the month of February will be divided equally among the guests for this series.
