This is a special bonus episode of B.A.M.M.M. — Beyond a Mammy, Maid, and Mule.

After the release of Episode 1, I sat down live with the three women whose stories opened this season — Dr. Yvonne, Piper, and Ashanti — for a multigenerational conversation about identity, family, and what it felt like to hear their lives reflected back through the podcast.

Together we talk about:
• what it was like to hear their stories told publicly
• the patterns that show up across generations of Black women
• what they learned about each other through this process
• and what healing can look like inside a family

If Episode 1 moved you, this conversation adds another layer — because now the women themselves are reflecting on the story together.

This recording comes directly from the BAMMM YouTube Live community conversation, where listeners were invited to ask questions and think through these themes in real time.

And if you're just finding this conversation now, it’s the perfect moment to jump into the podcast.
A brand new episode of B.A.M.M.M. drops in two days, continuing the journey with new stories about how Black women reclaim the parts of themselves the world once told them they lacked.

You can find the full podcast wherever you listen — and here on this channel.

Thank you for being part of this growing community.
