Re-release - Be the change with Candice Brathwaite

In this re-release I'm speaking with Candice Braithwaite, who is an absolute force and such a strong voice in the parenting and motherhood arena. Candice is an activist, influencer and the founder of Make Motherhood Diverse, an online initiative aiming to encourage a more representative and diverse depiction of motherhood in the media. Her book, ‘I’m Not Your Baby Mother’ is incredible - part memoir and part manifesto about black motherhood - it’s so good in fact, I’ve already read it twice! We speak about Candice’s childhood, her traumas, and how she found herself in this activist role. We also talk about spirituality and how Candice’s spiritual practice really helps to keep her grounded when things get pretty intense around her – and you’ll hear more about that in the episode. We had such a great conversation and I think you’re going to love hearing from Candice. I hope you enjoy the episode. As always, we continue the conversation over on Instagram so do hop over and let us know what you thought. You can download a transcript of this week’s episode here.
