Anxious Black Mom Podcast: Recent Episodes
Selam Misgano
Motherhood can be traumatic! Selam's engaging personal narrative details how becoming a mother transforms every aspect of life; marriage, career, health, community, and self-identity. Selam uses a diary format to explore how the hurried, patriarchal, and unequal world leaves working moms out of breath and overwhelmed! Using collective wisdom, Selam invites us to reflect on sustainable practices for life. At times hilarious, uplifting, and frustrating. Each episode is a virtual hug from one sister mama to another!

As a Black woman, I have come to realize that my salary or my job title is not a reflection of my worth. We know the job market is sexist and racist. I try my best to derive my self worth from within. Not to say, I am not working hard or pushing for excellence. I am. But I don't have all my eggs in one basket specially because that basket is hella rigid.
