Boss Mom: Balancing Career & Baby as a Single Mom in the 80s with Shay Wafer (Season Finale!)
There’s no better guest to wrap our first season than Shay Wafer, arts & culture powerhouse and grandmother who chose to become a single parent in the 80s. She also managed the theater where Maria and Ann-Sophie met when they were just babies themselves. We couldn’t be happier to have our forever “boss mom” on to share her wisdom!
Tune in to hear us chat about:
- Why Shay choose to be a single and “older” mom at a time when it wasn’t the norm
- Pursuing studies (at Yale, no less) and a high-level career while raising a young child
- The hard decisions Shay had to make to balance career ambitions and caretaking
- Choosing natural childbirth and why it was so important to her
- Assumptions people make about single, Black mothers - then and now
- How Shay’s daughter taught her to open up and communicate more
- The beauty of becoming a grandmother and seeing lessons passed on to the next generation
We'll be back soon with a Season 1 Wrap Up and what's to come for Season 2!
