Motherhood in Black & White

104
Parenting #113

Hosted by Gen X moms, Kaanji Irby and Tara Campbell. These two women- one Black and one White- come from different worlds, but have become close friends through their shared experiences as suburban ‘boy moms,’ working women in male-dominated workplaces, and their love of 90s hip-hop. Listen in as they chat with each other and connect with guests about parenting and pop culture and the tragedies and triumphs of motherhood with honesty, empathy and humor.

    I have been binge listening to these ladies for two weeks when I can, and I absolutely love the conversation. As a mom and a manager at work, I’m learning how to have some critical conversations about race and equity that apply to both places. Thank you ladies for grabbing my attention, teaching me important lessons, and giving me lots of laughs with your banter. You’re fantastic! ❤️

    Simply stated, the best there is.
    Kaanji and Tara are simply the best. They are having the conversations that so many of us are unsure about having, especially relating to our children. Tuning in each week is not an option, it’s an absolute necessity!

    Beyond inspirational insight
    I have known Kaanji for only a few years but from the moment I’ve met her, I knew she was special. I nicknamed her my spiritual gangsta and I stand by that 100%. She will give you real-life advice while also imparting next level spiritual guidance. She’s the most inspirational person I’ve ever met and this podcast is only the top of the iceberg. 5 stars x 10

    INCREDIBLE
    You don’t even need to be a mom to love this podcast. Tara and Kaanji bring humor and joy to all of their pieces of wisdom, sharing stories and experiences that bring to light the challenges of motherhood and womanhood in an evolving world. I learn so much every episode, and gain perspectives on the anti-racism education and conversation needed to raise children. Thank you for this beautiful podcast!

    This podcast is so needed right now, both in my life and in society. I am looking forward to learning in this safe place and growing through these conversations. Love the chemistry between the hosts, and their humor will have you feel like you're listening to old friends.
  • KRD Dallas
    Exactly what we need right now.
    This podcast is so refreshing. Two women from completely different backgrounds where you think they may not have much in common, but sharing from their hearts they find they have everything in common. The struggles of being a working mother, wife, friend, change maker. If the world could just sit down with one another and understand where the other side is coming from, we’d all be better off. Thank you ladies. You’re killing it!
  • DMurtha

  • MotherhoodMenageries
    Like a conversation with your best girlfriends!
    Grab your cup of coffee or glass of wine (depending on what time you are listening) and be prepared to laugh, cry, nod your head enthusiastically, and clap your hands in agreement. Listening to Kaanji and Tara talk all things motherhood from their unique perspectives is like having a conversation with your best girlfriends! I really enjoyed the episode about mom-guilt and the takeaways that were shared! These ladies keep it authentic and don’t we need more of that on this journey we call motherhood! Looking forward to the next episode!
