When women don’t turn from each other’s pain, but listen, believe, and unite, we all claim space.
This podcast has a trigger warning, and for many, it will be hard to hear, but Leslyn McBean-Clairborne, EdD does not leave listeners in despair. Quite the opposite, she offers concrete things, big and small, that every woman can do to make a difference. She joins Eliza VanCort to tell us all about it while bringing light to an important issue today. Leslyn’s research centers around the impacts Black women experience after their unarmed children have been unjustly killed. Leslyn and Eliza discuss why many women turn a blind eye to this issue and what every woman can do to support Black women. It is essential that these grieving and courageous Black mothers’ stories are heard. When we rise together, we rise higher. Be a witness to these stories. Learn what you can do to help. That’s how we’ll claim space.
