Mom’s Mics – Episode #2

We are so excited to be back after a while!
In our second episode, you will hear about what we have been up
to in the meawhile as well as Nadia’s story of getting pregnant,
fleeing to another country and having to make hard choices!


We are a group of migrant and refugee mothers (parents) based in
NRW, who have organized ourselves around the notion of
storytelling as empowerment. We have each long searched to see
whether and where our experience is being represented in the
media. Sadly, we ended up not satisfied with the stereotypical
images of black and brown women in need of saving. As BPoC women*
and as mothers, we need to be visible, we need to be represented.
It is about time our surroundings viewed us as we actually are.
This aspiration gave rise to the idea of Mom’s Mic radio.
This English speaking radio program is a platform, where we tell
our stories and exchange ideas. We discuss a range of issues from
our journeys, to our daily lives, the racism affecting our
children and us, our concerns, and worries. We also talk about
childbearing, postpartum, and parenting experience including the
interactions with the care and education system.
