The Trauma Within Navigating Black Motherhood W/ Jade of All Jades

Trauma Queen

Do you have any questions, any comments about the episode? Jimanekia would love to hear from you!

Join us as we sit down with the incredible Jade of All Jades, co-host of Getting Grown and Jade in XD, for an episode that promises to touch your heart and tickle your funny bone. Jade shares her rich tapestry of life experiences, from her Gullah Geechee and Mexican heritage to her grounded upbringing in Texas. We get to know Jade as a multifaceted individual—mother, wife, friend, chef, and healer—who believes trauma is an unavoidable part of life that shapes who we are.
We then dive into the challenges faced by birthing parents, magnified by Jade's recounting of her own high-risk pregnancy during Hurricane Sandy. The conversation highlights systemic healthcare issues and the grueling reality of returning to work without maternity leave. This poignant discussion underscores the critical need for better maternity support and healthcare reforms, making it essential listening for advocates of social justice and parental rights.
But it’s not all heavy—Jade also brings her unique flair for storytelling to lighter moments that are no less captivating. From the chaos of a Costco trip turned fiasco to musings on love and authenticity, this episode is a rollercoaster of emotions. We wrap things up with a candid chat about social media boundaries, personal energy management, and even some laugh-out-loud fantasies about unconventional memorials. Whether you’re here for the wisdom or the laughs, this episode offers a rich, entertaining experience that you won't want to miss.

Thank you all for listening. Set a boundary with yourself this week, set a boundary with someone else. If someone else does not respect that boundary. LET THEM LOOSE YOU! Stay hydrated internally and externally. We do not have an ashy family.
