1 Year Anniversary of Mommifaceted! Why I Started the Podcast and What are Black Mothers Thinking?

Jan 15, 2019

Whew! We made it to a whole year as a mom podcast! In this episode I go over why I started Mommifaceted, what were some of the biggest episodes and top themes of black moms that emerged, and where Mommifaceted is going.

I dreamed for Mommifaceted to be a podcast for black moms which highlights mothers not featured in mainstream media. It is created to provide inspiration and encouragement for moms that don't want to just thrive, but to excel, and to let moms know they aren't alone. And this has happened! As a result of the podcast, moms are starting their own blogs, starting their own podcasts, and finding joy and comfort in knowing they think like other moms and experience some of the same things.

I've become a think tank on all things black motherhood - so here are the recurring themes that black mothers are feeling and dealing with:

• We feel so many things - and are more than just moms
• We are constantly trying to get better
• We love and desire community
• We are more intentional and focused on our priorities
• We still deal with comparison, impatience, fatigue and feeling unorganized
