Show Notes
Ahead of Mother’s Day, we're bringing attention to challenges faced by Black mothers in the workplace — from inadequate paid maternity leave to lactation barriers.
We discuss a new report from the San Diego Black Worker Center outlining those challenges and possible solutions.
Then, we sit down with a local therapist to discuss strategies for coping with grief and loss on Mother's Day. Plus, how to honor the memories of late loved ones.
Guests:
- Brisa Johnson, executive director of the San Diego Black Worker Center
- Alana Dillette, associate professor of hospitality at San Diego State University and co-founder of Collaborating on Dialogue and Equity
- Lori Rappaport, licensed clinical psychologist in Carmel Valley
