Episode 195: Advocacy - Love in Action
Tue Jan 27 2026
Advocacy isn't about being loud, aggressive, or having all the right words. Advocacy is often an act of love — showing up, speaking up, and standing firm for our children even when it feels uncomfortable or exhausting.
In today's episode, Shanera reframes advocacy as a daily practice rooted in care, preparation, and connection. She explores how advocacy shows up in schools, healthcare spaces, and everyday moments — and how Black mothers can advocate without burning themselves out or abandoning themselves in the process.
This episode is an invitation to see advocacy not as something extra you have to do, but as love already in motion.
