   DBM Ep 77: Electoral Politics & Black Motherhood w/ Reecie Colbert

   Dear Mamas & Magic Makers What if I told you a campaign was a story?  And if Black women are the heroes of elections, how come we're never the main characters in the movie? It's Black Healing/History Month here at Dem Black Mamas, and today we're holding space for a conversation that feels both urgent and ancestral: electoral politics and Black motherhood. Black motherhood has never been separate from politics.  It has always been policy and protest.  From the plantation to the PTA meeting; from the ballot box to the budget sheet at the kitchen table, from protecting our babies in school hallways to protecting our rights in voting lines.  As Audre Lorde said, "Survival is not a theory."  It is strategic.  It is practiced.  It is passed down. Today, we're joined by someone who understands both the strategy and the stakes, Reecie Colbert.  SiriusXM host. Political strategist and Author.  When disinformation moves in whispers, she answers in clarity.  When narratives twist, she straightens them.  She doesn't just talk politics, she translates it.  Together, we're unpacking messaging and missteps; silence and strategy;  weight of being the base but not the priority. We dive into: ✨Loyalty, leverage, labor and when does devotion become depletion? ✨What does it mean to be the foundation of a house that rarely calls your name? ✨When your Blackness is debated in public, is silence strategy… or surrender? ✨How do you raise a Black child steady and sovereign when the ground beneath democracy feels like quicksand? PLUS - NeKisha & Crystal discuss our inability to recognize white people, a show made us proud to say "THE BLACK MAMA DID IT" Stick around till the end for our signature 'Black Mama Say' segment where we put our own twist on phrases from Black Mamas and in this episode we'll be revealing the word that will guide us through the year.

Published 2 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] What did that transition as a mother look like for you? I mean, it was very difficult. The first six years of her life were... largely easy for me. She was an easy baby. Even as a full-time single mom when she was born, she didn't cry a lot. She didn't get up during the night. We had a good thing going. I found childcare easily. I was really happy with the daycare center that she went to, and that very much became part of our village and our community. My motherhood in L.A., Existed in isolation for quite a while, you know, like not long after we moved here, the world shut down. you know, and I didn't have many people. […]
