Leafing through the piles of prenatal paraphernalia, she found herself wondering: \u003ci\u003e \"Where are all the black mothers?\".\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCandice started blogging about motherhood in 2016 after making the simple but powerful observation that the way motherhood is portrayed in the British media is wholly unrepresentative of our society at large. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The result is this thought-provoking, urgent and inspirational guide to life as a black mother. It explores the various stages in between pregnancy and waving your child off at the gates of primary school, while facing hurdles such as white privilege, racial micro-aggression and unconscious bias at every point. Candice does so with her trademark sense of humour and refreshing straight-talking, and the result is a call-to-arms that will allow mums like her to take control, scrapping the parenting rulebook to mother their own way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCandice Brathwaite is a \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author.
