And.... We are Back! Thank you for your patience and support over the last few months. Between personal transitions, illness, and just not being in the mental space to add more, I decided to rest and I'm still resting but I wanted to get back to my passion place, the BMCH podcast, and share the lives and stories of some amazing women doing amazing things on behalf of Black women, children, and community.
