About this listen
We welcome back Renée Ọmọladé as she shares a powerful reflection on balancing motherhood, faith, and leadership while raising three Black sons in Boston and advancing educational equity across Massachusetts. Grounded in her Christian faith, Renée describes motherhood as both a gift and a radical act—intentionally affirming her sons’ identities, teaching them to love their brown skin, preparing them for societal realities, and building strong community ties through their schools and family networks. She speaks candidly about the emotional weight Black mothers carry in preparing their sons for a world that can misjudge them, referencing the broader national conversations sparked by tragedies like Trayvon Martin and George Floyd. Through mentorship, asset-mapping, and what she calls a “championship mentality,” Renée encourages Black women to see themselves as powerful leaders within their families and communities. In the spirit of Black History Month, the conversation celebrates resilience, legacy, and the ongoing responsibility to build a stronger, more just future for the next generation.
