DBM Episode 39 Mothering, Art & Black Maternal Health

Dear Mama, When it comes to Black Maternal Health, our work is not over when Black mothers survive and the child is born alive and we will not let it fade into our peripheral.  In this episode we discuss being invited to do an art installation for Project Row Houses Round 50 entitled Race, Motherhood, and Health.  We also discuss the importance of art in this movement and art’s capacity like nothing else to creep into the crevices of culture and push us forward.  Before we jump into that convo we take a discuss witnessing our children during hard situations inspired by card number 19 from our Black Mama Magic Card Deck which reads I honor my child’s divine path.  We hope this episode reminds you that motherhood is not the graveyard of dreams, that our children are divine beings on their own divine journey, and when your mothership hits rough waters to soften.  SYLLABUS Church Announcements/Prayer Requests/Praise Reports: Black Mama Magic Mini Card Deck & Magic Evermore Summer Solstice Boxes are on SALE NOW Crystal is teaching writing and helping Black folks heal.
