Those Summer Bodies

Black Love Podcast Network
About this episode

Alright ladies! It's summertime and our Mamas are glowing! But truth be told, it isn't easy learning to love and celebrate yourself even if your homegirls are cheering you on. This week the Mamas discuss learning to love their bodies at where they're at now, and the struggles they've had along the way. Plus, we all know just how social media and filters make it real hard to figure out what's real and what's not real. 

Ladies! It's time to love your bodies. Let us know what you're doing to celebrate yourself!
