A candid Conversation with Keturah Kendrick where she will be joining me to talk about navigating society as a black woman and the strength it takes to choose the right path for you, instead of bending yourself to fit the mold of what the world wants you to be.

Boss Lady Journal | Tania Abraham | Kuki Vincent Osei

In the spirit of #internationalwomensday and #womenshistorymonth, we brought two incredibly powerful and trailblazing women on the show for a conversation on female entrepeneurship, carving a space for yourself a patriarchal society and creating opportunities for other women to grow and thrive. Tania Abraham is a Climate Change and Urban Sanitation Specialist with the World Bank. Since joining the Bank, she has worked with the Climate Change Group and the Urban Resilience and Land Global Practice, where she has focused on the development of methodologies and guidance to assess climate adaptation and resilience throughout the World Bank Portfolio. More recently, she has begun working with other Multi-development Banks to establish an assessment framework in support of the Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development goals, which will enable countries to shift to low-carbon and climate resilient pathways while pursuing their core development goals. Kuki Vincent Osei's two most important identities are Mother and Entrepreneur. She has a two year old son named Kreed and is also the owner of Kreed Hair, a local kids hair care brand www.kreedhaircare.com [http://www.kreedhaircare.com]. Kuki founded Kreed Hair to create hair products made specifically for black children's hair. Kreed Hair Kare is a carefully created kids brand that locks in moisture and helps to promote growth with its naturally formulated products made from the best organic, sulfate, paraben free and non animal tested blends. 6 weeks into her pregnancy with Kreed, Kuki was diagnosed with Leukemia and after being able to deliver a happy and healthy baby boy, she wanted to pay it forward to anyone who finds themselves in the same position she was in by adding a social responsibility component to Kreed Hair Kare where 10% of their yearly proceeds go to Leukemia Research.

Women Are More Than Their Fertility | Yarvo | Siobhan| Laure-ed

Motherhood. It’s what’s expected of every woman and after birth, often becomes their identity. But what happens to women who do not want to be mothers? What happens to women who want children but do not want to go through the stress and pain of carrying and birthing a child? Are they any less of a mother? Is their child any less theirs? The answer is an obvious no, but to some, that is not the case. Traditionalism has limited the idea of “motherhood” to those who bear and birth their children and we need to further broaden that idea to remove the stigma and alienation around non-traditional mothers. We as a society need to recognize that to carry and give birth requires far more of the mother than what we see in pictures, posts and the media. The toll that a baby in utero takes on a woman’s body is extensive and long lasting. The effects of pregnancy does not end at birth. The physical and mental toll that having a child takes on a woman can be deadly. Yet we’ve isolated women in this experience. A woman’s choice to not bear children needs to be normalized and respected. It is important to recognize and understand that women are not human incubators. And to be a mother means a whole lot more than just having carried and given birth to a baby. A good mother is reflected in the love they give their child.
