S1/E3. Dani McClain on The Political Power of Black Motherhood

Dani McClain is a writer and award-winning journalist who reports on race and reproductive health. Her work has been recognized by the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association, the National Association of Black Journalists, and Planned Parenthood Federation of America. She is mother to one daughter and author of the book We Live for the We: The Political Power of Black Motherhood, which was published in 2019.

In this conversation, we go deeper into Dani's personal motivations for the book. We talk about the state of affairs in the US. We talk about 'motherwork' and what it means to belong to a black family today.  Dani reflects on her own upbringing and her personal experience of mothering her young daughter in a co-parenting relationship.
