Natalie, Carina and Nana-Adwoa go head to head in the latest episode, realising that they really do have different parenting styles, perhaps because of the way they were parented themselves.

Trigger Warning. This episode we discuss the horrific case of :- Child Q, a fifteen year old girl who was unjustly stripped searched by Metropolitan police officers after teachers accused her of smelling of cannabis. Child Q – who was having her period at the time – was made to remove her clothing, underwear and a sanitary pad, spread her buttocks and cough. Child Q is Black. This week we delve into why Black girls are not afforded the same innocence as their white counterparts. Are schools doing enough? Should we be warning young girls about the police? And how can we protect our daughters? Join Carina, Natalie and Endy as we share our own experiences and ask what we can learn from this gross misconduct. 🚫 www.blackmumsupfront.com Hosts https://instagram.com/natsduv https://instagram.com/from_the_endz https://instagram.com/_carinawh…

It has divided the opinion of many but was there a deeper side to it? In a BMU first, Nana-Adwoa and husband, Donald, and Lauren and partner, Ryan, discuss the deeper side of committed relationships and one of the men owns up to doing the same thing for his woman once. www.blackmumsupfront.com Guests: instagram.com/donaldmbeutcha instagram.com/mrryanlewis_…

“Black people are disproportionately affected by climate change" - Some may say we're 'playing the race card', but could it actually be possible that racism means that the air our children breath is worst and the harvest back home in the Motherland is dying? With the help of Afua Adom, journalist and climate change 'geek', the BMU ladies learn a valuable lesson in white history, what it has done to our people in the global south and why, as a community, we need to wake up. www.blackmumsupfront.com www.instagram.com/blackmumsupfront…

This is an episode where the mums firmly disagreed on many things, firmly agree on the need for education and firmly question whether past outfit choices offended other races.

We comb through the history of Black hair and the choices we, as Black women of the diaspora, have made over the decades. And we ask now, in 2021, are we limiting our right to expression by making hair too political? Or are we just starting to uncover what our hair choices really say about us?

Kelly-esque predators, just to bring our 'beloved child' some fame and glory? And as for the police...Do you trust them? With you child? Really really?

As a Black woman what does it mean to be beautiful? To be sexy? And to feel attractive and accepted? This episode we delve into our own beliefs about beauty, body image and hair choice (on our head and elsewhere), unpacking what we truly think verses what society would have us believe. How much are we, and more importantly our children, influenced by popular mainstream culture? Are Black features deemed more attractive on racially ambiguous women? And should we let our ten-year-old daughters shave their legs? Join us as we undress our thoughts and feelings on what’s hot, what’s not, and why we do what we do to feel beautiful.

23. Black In White Spaces 1:15:13

This episode we get upfront about the D word. Diversity. We all need some D in our lives, but how much is too much? And how much is too little? We’ve all been the only Black in the room at some point in our lives. But what about the only Black in the private school? The only Black in the corporate office? The rural Village? Are we gifting our children opportunities by being in predominately white spaces? Or gifting them therapy-worthy baggage? We reflect on our own eclectic experiences and ~argue~ debate about the pros and cons of being the Only Black . This eye opening, hilarious (if we do say so ourselves) episode is brought to you by Posh Nat, Working Class Carina, Catherine and Libby. 👩🏼👩🏼👩🏼👩🏼👩🏼👩🏼👩🏾 www.blackmumsupfront.com⁣ Hosts:⁣ https://instagram.com/blackmumsupfront https://instagram.com/brownstown29 https://instagram.com/nanaadwoambeutcha https://instagram.com/natsduv https://instagram.com/from_the_endz…

22. One Shot Is All It Took - A Father’s Day Special 1:16:04

for 4 years siden1:16:04

1:16:04

This episode we get upfront and personal with renowned podcaster, entrepreneur and single Dad, Tazer, from 3 Shots of Tequila. With Father’s Day fast approaching we decided to hear first hand from a very upfront dad, to understand better a man’s perspective on the reality of raising a daughter. How is parenting across gender, and what’s with the much talked about daddy-daughter dynamic? Tazer bares all, sharing his shocking ‘one night only’ crash journey into fatherhood (yes, it seems one shot is all it took) as we dive into the dos and don’ts of co parenting and unpack the way we were parented verses our parenting choices. Join us for some serious baby father banter whilst picking up some gems of advice from this Black upfront Dad. www.blackmumsupfront.com⁣ Guest: https://www.instagram.com/tazerblack https://twitter.com/TazerBlack Hosts:⁣ https://instagram.com/blackmumsupfront https://instagram.com/brownstown29 https://instagram.com/nanaadwoambeutcha https://instagram.com/natsduv https://instagram.com/from_the_endz…

21. Upfront with Candice Brathwaite 1:05:19

Thanks to Nike we’ve caught up with Olympic athlete mothers and gold champion medalists, so it’s only right that this week we get upfront with the front runner of Black motherhood, best selling author, presenter and change maker, Candice Braithwaite. This episode Candice reveals the truth about living life in the public eye, talks openly about her traumatic birth experience and shares why being an outspoken dark skinned black woman comes with a price. (Yep, we discuss that documentary.) This woman keeps it 100. We felt enlivened and emboldened by her energy and know that you will too. ⚠️ Trigger warning, this episode contains content that some listeners may find upsetting. www.blackmumsupfront.com⁣ Hosts:⁣ https://instagram.com/blackmumsupfront https://instagram.com/brownstown29 https://instagram.com/nanaadwoambeutcha https://instagram.com/natsduv https://instagram.com/from_the_endz…

Between us, we’ve got it covered. But can separation ever be a good thing? Is successful co-parenting a myth? And how do you navigate a family breakup without having a family breakdown? This emotive episode sees us go head to head with each other as we hash out if the traditional family unit is always the optimum set up to raise a child. And what to do if, like some of us, that family unit comes crashing down. Upfront feelings of parental guilt, shame and despair will be shared. 🤯 This podcast is part of our pledge to the Parent Promise. We are so happy to sit alongside other organisations such as Relate, Frolo, National Children’s Day, Legacy Lifestyle, For Kid’s Sake and more, to form the Parents Promise Alliance https://theparentspromise.org.uk/ Hosts:⁣ https://instagram.com/blackmumsupfront https://instagram.com/brownstown29 https://instagram.com/nanaadwoambeutcha https://instagram.com/natsduv https://instagram.com/from_the_endz…

Kinky, curly, nappy, frizzy, tough, wild. Good, bad, straight, natural, processed, difficult. Black women and our hair. It seems like everyone has an opinion. But why is Afro hair such a hot topic? Is society trying to police our blackness through policing our hair? Are we now policing each other as Black women? Or should we just keep our hair on cos it really ain’t that deep ? This episode we comb through the micro-aggressions that we’ve all experienced and dig deep into our own thoughts, feelings and hair hang ups. This episode is proudly part of Dove’s Crowning Glory campaign. And no, you can’t touch it.

This episode we head to Nigeria to catch up with Olympian British track and field athlete and mum of one, Perri Edwards. We talk Nigeria verses East London, raising a child with both African and Caribbean heritage and having a celebrity for a husband. Perri is no stranger to hurdles, in fact she’s pretty darn good at them, but what about the hurdles of new motherhood in a pandemic? We get upfront about the reality of birth, post-baby bodies and black maternal health. This Nike sponsored episode had us (over)sharing, giggling and jumping for joy! www.blackmumsupfront.com⁣ Hosts:⁣ https://instagram.com/blackmumsupfront https://instagram.com/brownstown29 https://instagram.com/nanaadwoambeutcha https://instagram.com/natsduv https://instagram.com/from_the_endz…
