The hub for Black women breaking cycles of mother-daughter trauma, founded by @dylesiabarner 🤎✨

Did you know that 50% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage, most often before a woman even knows she’s pregnant? (WebMD, 2020) This means 75% of pregnancies (25% realized and 50% realized) don’t make it to term.

RT to help us end shame around pregnancy loss!

We couldn’t think of a better series to dedicate our first mother-daughter relationship analysis to! Join us as we take over the stage at the Pynk to explore Mercedes & Patrice’s relationship from the lens of mental health & generational trauma with @WritefullyBritt! #PValley

@KnowElle72 @DIPInc_ Reverse role modeling!

What a mouthful @DIPInc_! 🤯 What does this quote mean to you?

[cococonference @cococonference]

Moms in survival mode, struggling to make ends meet, naturally have less energy to dedicate to raising children.

How did finances impact how your mother showed up as a parent when you were a child? & if you’re a mother, what impact do they have on how you show up as a parent?

[cococonference @cococonference]

Drop a comment (or emoji) if your parenting choices have ever resulted in you being shamed by another parent or adult. How did it make you feel about yourself? Your child?

[cococonference @cococonference]

@DIPInc_ will emphasize how shame impacts the parent-child relationship and how to find your unique parenting voice as you strive to raise beautiful yet complex children.

Factors such as psychological distress, social isolation, family dysfunction, and maladaptive coping skills contribute to the increase of heart issues and suicidality among Black women.

Approx. 49% of AA women over age 20 in the U.S. live with a heart disease (Black Women's Health Imperative, 2020). Additionally, studies show that although AA men are more likely to die by suicide, AA women are more likely to attempt (American Association of Suicidality, 2016).

In the African-American community, do you think it’s a practice of respect to overlook mothers’ contradictory behavior?

[cococonference @cococonference]

Ever been faced with the conflict of wanting to confront your mother about practicing what she preaches? Scary feeling, right?

It’s important for parents to not only model their ideal behavior but also take accountability when they fail to do so.
