Therapist, receptionist, chauffeur, culinary artist, butt wiper… Some days, it really feels like we work for our kids and that mommying should require a graduate degree!
Today I have with me mommy gangster Dr. Raquel Martin, a psychologist, fellow podcaster, and TikTok queen. Raquel’s passion is spreading empowerment and education about mental health, anti-racism, Black identity development, and health disparities & inequalities.
Tune in and listen to episode 60 of Mamaste with Tanika Ray. Raquel and I are talking about how differently we were treated while pregnant, single mommyhood, and why being married isn’t necessarily an advantage in the parenting game.
