Put That on My Mama

Parents are going to make sense, and perhaps it takes us maturing and becoming parents ourselves to extend (more) grace.

We did it - another 10 episodes down. Full of conversation and Channy's Gen X comedy. Wishing every Mama (which covers a range of people, titles, women, familial connections, etc.) a very Happy Mother's Day! Walking on Saturday, May 10 at 3:30PM to celebrate another successful season - pull up with the kids! Reach out for the location.

We all need help, especially as it relates to children. We talk through our systems of support and this baby boom agenda that has us confused about real changes that prioritize families.

We all have different approaches for how we communicate with our children. This episode we talk about what we're willing to discuss with our children, and how we determine if/when they are ready for certain information. A mix between protect their youth and better for them to learn (certain?) truths from you.

A special guest joins us to talk through how important fathers are in their children's lives. Uplifting the presence of Dads because as was shared, "what don't Dads bring to the family dynamic?!" Fathers, husbands, leaders - tap with Isaiah Coleman on LinkedIn, TikTok , and YouTube.

Brownie #4 joined us to talk about how our birth order affects our personalities. I love being the eldest, and as each family member's Chief of Staff, it is a lot of (good, necessary, FREE) work. Birth order and how we treat each other based on that still affects our relationships in adulthood.

Safety, cleanliness, attentiveness and much more covered in terms of who our children can visit. Tough conversation, especially with relatives, but sometimes one that needs to be had.

APAS paved the way. We all should be concerned about what's happening to education. Parents/families/communities tap in to what's happening in schools and come up with communal solutions to make sure our children's education remains a priority. B.L.A.C.K. School Launching August 2025

Bring back community parenting because it truly takes a village!

Well this turned into a mini heart to heart. We all have ways we naturally show love, but are those the best ways for the people we care about most, especially if they need more, or just something different, from us than we're used to. Tell your people you love them and mean it - through your words and actions.

We did a thing! Shoutout to Channy for the idea and to Jaime for saying yes, eventually. Seriously, we both appreciate the space and plan to do even better in Season 2. See yall in March 2025!

We out here recruiting to make sure our babies aren't the only Black kids in soccer. Who else can relate?! We need organizations to do better with their marketing and accessibility to attract a range of families for these activities.

We come from a line of women who are pillars in our community; it's only right that we continue their legacy. Black Family 5k details can be found on our Insta: @putthatonmymamapod

It's definitely a crisis! Jaime lives it firsthand. Our children, our families deserve affordable, quality childcare options. It's [been] time to rethink women's assumed (more like assigned by some man some where) preference to not work, stay home, and raise their children.

We discuss money - what we teach our kids, how having kids changed our money, and our overall mindset about money. When the money comes, it's going to flood baybee!

Gentle parenting is a new term, but not a new concept. We talk about what it looks as a parent today and as a grandparent.

"Mom, are you my friend?" Took Channy and Jaime 20 years to consider each other friends. Better late than never. Are your kids your friends?

My mama got me covered. Jaime shares her appreciation for that, while Chantel encourages Jaime to do the work and provide that feeling for her children.

Yes, we're moms and we're educators, avid readers, weekly walkers, and so much more. Georgetown Wellness Wheel: https://studenthealth.georgetown.edu/hoya-wellness-wheel/

Chantel gave birth in '92, '93, and '94. 30 years later, Jaime did the same thing in '22, '23, and '24. Was this planned? Our podcast drops on September 20 to honor our family matriarch on her 78th birthday - Happy Birthday Mom/Nanny!

Channy and Jaime briefly introduce themselves and share what you can expect from their podcast.
