Black Mums Upfront
06/15/22 • 66 min
Who's your Ride or Die? Are you Thelma or Louise? Do you have that one friend who just gets you and you would do anything for?? Or, are friendships fleeting and seasonal for you, but provide what you need for that given time?
"New" friends, Natalie, Carina and Nana-Adwoa, are joined by Natalie's BFF, Endy, to discuss friendship and sisterhood. With differing opinions, will their friendship still be strong by the end of the podcast?

49. If Columbus Was Black...
Black Mums Upfront
05/24/22 • 64 min
'The world is your oyster', but does it bring as much pleasure if you're Black?
With travel truly back on the cards, Natalie, Nana-Adwoa and Carina take a trip back to reminisce about the holidays they've been on - Austria, Italy, Bali, India and more - But what sort of reception did they receive? There are definitely stories for the grandkids and stories that would rather be forgotten. Buckle up, you're in for a ride!

48. Is It Appropriate?
Black Mums Upfront
05/10/22 • 70 min
Which BMU sister is saying no to playdates and sleepovers; Who has no interest is mixing with other school mums; And who has no problem with their child sitting on the lap of their ex's new partner? 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. And one of the girls surprises us all!

6. Pussy Power
Black Mums Upfront
02/09/21 • 67 min
We get upfront and very personal this episode as we talk pleasure, pelvic floors and pee.
We are joined by vagina and vibrator guru, Zuleika Philips - a mother of two and owner of Pleasure Drum, a wellness company dedicated to pelvic strengthening solutions and pleasure products.
We open up (ahem) about orgasms, we let out (cough) our post baby incontinence insecurity and we share our secret sex toy tips. Is pleasure our right? Are we comfortable claiming it? And how can we ensure we are getting enough?
Maybe don’t listen in front of your grandma. Then again...
