I am a Strong Black Woman and I am Proud of That

Menopause Whist Black Season SIX Episode 2!

This weeks guest is Mary Martin, founder of fashion house Mary Martin London.

Mary is an award-winning self taught fashion designer based in South London. Originally from Wales, Mary's story literally reads like a 'rags to riches' novel - this determined woman has never had any intention of being stuck with the cards she was dealt. Her strong Christian faith is a common thread throughout her life. Mary shares her menopause story and how she cares for herself 'naturally'. (I am aware of some contention around this word, but listen in and you'll get it)

We talk about:

• Early years as a teenager new to London from Wales.
• Her unwaivering faith in God
• Discovering her fashion creativity and purpose.
• The rage that accompanied her menopause onset.
• The joys of regular exercise.

and so much more.

There's no getting round the fact that Mary is and continues to be an inspiration to many, and we're sure you'll find a part of her journey that resonates.

This episode is available to watch on YouTube and listen on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon and beyond.

If Mary's story hits home do share this episode with others who may benefit from our conversation. Don’t forget to leave a comment or positive review on your chosen platform!
