Mother's Day Podcast with Malaika's Tshedi Mholo

Our special guest for our Mother’s Day episode is singer Tshedi Mholo, from the award-winning South African group Malaika. We’ve gotten down to their music at countless African engagement parties, weddings and baby showers in Australia. It seems only fitting to ask Tshedi about her experience of motherhood and relationships. Watch the full interview on Youtube at <a href="https://youtu.be/yDgldjcLDDc">https://youtu.be/yDgldjcLDDc</a> or on our IGTV channel at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vanamai.village/">https://www.instagram.com/vanamai.village/</a>.

How do you talk to your child about their identity?

She also reveals what inspired her blog post <a href="http://www.thepin.org/think/racism-in-healthcare">‘Black and pregnant in the Australian health system’</a>, and how she’d like to discuss identity with her young son.
