We are deeply saddened by what has unfolded with Candice Brathwaite, who has spent YEARS pushing for the conversation on black motherhood being replaced by Rochelle in a documentary on the high rate of black women in the U.K dying in childbirth (thread)
This is why here at BB we continue to make space for BW to share their experiences on motherhood & why it's important that we lead these discussions. We'll not allow for what we've seen today to take away from this. Listen to The Survival Guide podcast - http://blkbld.uk/3pYJ3XD
In early 2020 we launched a survey on motherhood with over 2000 black women taking part before we dedicated the year to commissioning black women all over the UK to share their stories, from fostering to being single mothers - http://blkbld.uk/2Z6EVJr
Last year we took over @HuffPostUK to bring to light the stories on motherhood & parenting - https://blkbld.uk/3jvluTJ
Finally, we will continue to have these conversations and support Candice in making sure that black mothers & discussions around motherhood are informative, honest & at the forefront of BB. Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far
