Rounding out Black Maternal Health Week, this week’s episode features the amazing and deeply wise Dr. Tamisha Ponder, doula, yoga therapist, and Founder and CEO of Sankofa Yoga and Wellness Center.
Tamisha invites us into both her professional world as a birth worker and her personal story as a mother. Her journey is full of intention, healing, and powerful reminders about what it means to be held during pregnancy, birth, and beyond—especially as a Black woman in a system that too often overlooks us.
One moment in our conversation stopped us in our tracks: she shared a simple tip that helped her reclaim her peace in the thick of postpartum, and It’s life changing. It shifts how you move through your day, and how you care for yourself while caring for others.
Whether you’re in the postpartum season or simply trying to show up fully in your own life, this episode will leave you feeling more grounded, more seen, and more empowered to slow down and tune in. This is one you’ll want to come back to again and again.

Poplin, the smart way to do laundry: use our link!

This week's episode is an important one.

We're joined by Kierra King, the woman whose TikTok detailing a racist encounter in a California clinic went viral. While many stood behind her, others dismissed her pain. Some even questioned if it was real, calling it a skit. But it wasn't. It's her real life.

What most people didn't see? After that traumatic moment, Kierra sought care at another facility, only to be failed again. Additionally, a coworker later joked about the incident to her face. The original clinic? They still haven't taken accountability.

As black women, we're constantly expected to stay calm even in the face of dehumanization. Because even if we react with anything less than grace, we're labeled as "angry," "classless," or even "aggressive.." And when things do happen to us, we're gaslit into believing it's somehow our fault.

We're so grateful that Kierra chose to share her story and the aftermath with us. In this episode, she talks about what it's been like navigating overnight fame, the emotional toll of it all and how she's doing the work to heal beyond the viral moment. Kierra is strong, grounded, funny and such a light!
