In December of 2017 I had a lump back to me and it was before I actually got pregnant. The idea of like mortgaging my life on this idea of family that was not fully formed was something that was really hard for me. In New York State at least right now the laws on surrogacy are still pretty tight. You have to go through someone who is a family member. Compassionate surrogacy they call it so you have to go out of state.
Aminatou Sow has been on your airwaves since 2014. An early pioneer of podcasts, Aminatou co-hosts the hugely popular Call Your Girlfriend, where she tackles everything from marriage to toppling the patriarchy. Join us on this week's UnStyled, where Aminatou discusses chronic illness & menopause, her own recovery from cancer, and how a scare with her physical health ultimately impacted her emotional and mental health. Aminatou came to realize that friends will always be there to see her through, and it's that that led to her next project, with her creative soulmate and best friend: a book on what she calls "life's main course"...friendship.
