Lavelle Smith Hall: Transforming Black Motherhood with MOMLogics
So there's no wonder our ancestors and grandmothers and great grandmothers didn't talk about the most painful parts of their lives, even when they were something that they did as a woman and made a choice. No one's given us that space, and we're still suffering in silence.
Imagine a world where Black mothers have a dedicated space to redefine motherhood, prioritize self-care, and build supportive communities. That's the vision Lavelle Smith Hall brings to life in this episode of 'Insideout Conversations'. Lisa Lackey chats with Lavelle, the founder of MOMLogics, an organization that's more than just a support group—it's a living, breathing organism aimed at empowering Black moms. Lavelle's mission is clear: to create a nurturing environment for 1 billion moms around the globe.
Drawing from her own experiences growing up and the challenges she faced as a parent, Lavelle opens up about the struggles and triumphs that shaped her journey. She talks candidly about the emotional toll of motherhood, the societal pressures Black women face, and the guilt that often accompanies parenting. But it’s not all heavy—there’s a lot of hope and practical advice too.
Lavelle emphasizes the importance of self-care, not just as a buzzword but as a vital practice for mental and emotional well-being. The conversation also delves into the heart-wrenching topic of grief and loss, offering a raw yet hopeful perspective on finding strength in adversity. Lavelle’s insights serve as a powerful reminder that Black mothers are not alone; they have a community ready to support them.
Whether you're a mom yourself or someone who supports one, this episode is packed with wisdom and encouragement. Tune in for an inspiring discussion that challenges societal norms and celebrates the resilience of Black motherhood.
