In this episode of Chronicles of Melanin Mamas, we open up about the strength it takes to navigate motherhood while facing the shadows of postpartum depression. The mamas share their personal journeys through emotional and physical changes, the silent battles behind the smiles, and the pressure to “keep it together” while still showing up for our families.

We talk about body changes, identity shifts, and the emotional toll of new motherhood — and why prioritizing mental health, asking for help, and leaning into community is not just important, but necessary.

This one is raw, real, and full of healing energy. From vulnerability to victory, join us as we remind each other that no mama has to walk this path alone.

Come meet the mamas in the debut episode of Chronicles of Melanin Mamas. We go deep into the toughest parts of motherhood—balancing identity, grief, and joy—while navigating life as military spouses. Honest, heartfelt, and unfiltered, this episode explores how strength, community, and humor help us keep moving forward through the most challenging moments. Tune in for real stories, practical resilience, and a celebration of Black mothering in all its complexity.
