In this episode, we explore how Black women educators and mothers are redefining rest, care, and identity—not just for themselves, but for the generations watching. Dr. Asia Lyons and her guest reflect on the beauty of being seen by their daughters: not just as hard-working women, but as whole people who deserve joy, rest, and freedom.
This conversation is for educators, parents, paraprofessionals, professors, and advocates who want to understand the deep cultural shifts happening within Black families and school communities. What does it mean for a child to see their mother rest without guilt? Laugh without apology? Take up space in peace?
