Ep. 4: Black Queer Mothering

Fare of the Free Child
Ep. 4: Black Queer Mothering
Show Notes

Trelani Michelle is a writer, wife, and mama of two. Her son, CJ, is 10, and her daughter, Kobe, is 6. She is a versed writer who has shed light and offered refreshing perspectives on everything from juvenile detention system to cursing when communicating with God.

I’m also sharing space with Trelani Michelle this episode because Trelani is part of a group that is definitely underrepresented in parenting circles and discussions about how we choose to parent — that group is black queer mothers, so we’ll explore what that means specifically for Trelani, as a queer black woman married to a straight black man.

Listen and enjoy as Trelani and I get all up in our feelings about motherhood, relationships, education, and radical self-expression.
