This week Chanju and Chibesa speak to Leah on dissecting the strong black woman trope. What do we need to unlearn?

The trope of the steely, resolute black woman is ingrained in society.

“Strong Black Woman” is a mantra for so much of our community that it is seldom realised how great a toll it has taken on the emotional well-being of black woman. As much as it may give her the illusion of control, it keeps her from identifying what she needs and reaching out for help.

So what do we need to unlearn? This podcast opens up the discussion. Let us know your thoughts @hello@blackmotherhood.co.uk.
