For BIPOC women, mothering takes many forms. Whether raising a child, mentoring the next generation, or fostering community, this labor of love is powerful—but it can also be exhausting. BIPOC working mothers often find themselves navigating workplace demands while ensuring their children receive the care and attention they need. Additionally, many BIPOC caregivers serve as guiding forces for younger family members, students, and community members, embodying the essence of mothering beyond DNA. Adoption, mentorship, and chosen family are all vital ways that mothering shows up in BIPOC communities, reminding us that the heart of mothering is about love, support, and presence. Led by Dr. Sailume Walo-Roberts, this interactive virtual session will explore the emotional and mental health aspects of nurturing others, highlighting the joys and challenges that come with offering love and support in a world that often overlooks the caregivers.
