In this episode we chat with artist and mother Bonnita. With many ‘so -called’ labels, Bonnita openly and honestly recounts her experiences as a mother of  bi-racial and neuro-diverse children and mother with neurodiversity herself. We move through a plethora of topics ranging from un-schooling, racism, art and the need for women to have ‘a room of one's own’. This conversation is sure to get you pondering… 

The episode covers the following:

  • Young mothering
  • Single mothering
  • Raising a biracial child and anti-racism
  • Neurodiversity (in the child)
  • Homeschooling
  • Mothering with ADHD 
  • Creativity and motherhood
