Episode 13: The un-coddling of African Parents

from It's Free Period · host It's Free Period

This week, we’re asking tough questions: Are African parents too coddled? Is it time to decenter them in our emotional narratives? And how do you negotiate conflict when your values are at odds? We rant about African parents and whether things are actually getting better with each generation. Mofi shares the details of a recent fight with her mum and questions why empathy so often feels one-sided. Esther, meanwhile, can’t relate, and isn’t exactly worried about her own parenting skills. And Aisha? She swears she’s not a yapper... but based on how much she had to say in this episode, we’re not so sure. Maybe she just needed to get somethings off her chest? Hosted on Acast.
