A Soulful Mom's Wisdom
A Soulful Mom's Wisdom is a wellness podcast for Black moms, rooted in the power of quotes that nourish your body and soul. Each episode, your host and wellness coach Africa O. shares a quote that has propelled her forward on her life journey and explores how that wisdom can do the same for you.
From identity and purpose to self-love and motherhood, these conversations will uplift, empower, and remind you that motherhood is part of your story but it is not the whole of who you are. Because a woman who knows who she is lives with more joy.
Pull up a chair. Pour your coffee. You're safe here.
