"My experience is not dissimilar from yours so I think that that's that's something that's actually very relatable" She also talks about her new mom friends and how they've been challenged by their roles as mothers in an era where working moms are often under-supported. 'If these people are really important to you that shit doesn't matter all that matters is that you love them and you want to support them'
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.
