We are beyond excited to bring you this honest and illuminating conversation with author, influencer, blogger and founder of Make Motherhood Diverse – Candice Brathwaite! Candice’s first book, You Are Not My Baby Mother was a former YB Steal of the Week and a critically lauded Sunday Times bestseller that unflinchingly looks at being a black British mother and strives to redefine the whole idea of motherhood in the 21st Century. We talked to Candice about the pressures of success, the delights of Oprah’s Book Club, the genius of Toni Morrison and the importance of woo.
