Motherhood

My Black Motherhood

Motherhood is never just one story.

My Black Motherhood is a powerful reflection on identity, racism, motherhood, mental health and the possibility of being fully seen. It combines personal truth with a wider call for Black mothers’ experiences to be heard, believed and valued.

It is essential reading for mothers, families, care professionals, educators and anyone who wants to understand the realities Black women navigate before, during and after birth.

“Every mother deserves the language, space and support to tell her story.”

Sandra Igwe MBE
