*THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*

«Motherhood needs to become more diverse…»

When Candice became pregnant and entered the world of motherhood, she found that her experience bore no resemblance to the glossy magazine photos and the mumsnet conversations about which stroller to buy. She wondered: «Where are all the black mothers?». Candice began writing about motherhood in 2016 after noticing that the depiction of motherhood in British media is entirely unrepresentative of our society. The result is this provocative, urgent, and inspiring guide to life as a black mother. It explores the various stages from pregnancy to the farewell day at primary school, while tackling obstacles such as white privilege, racial microaggressions, and unconscious bias at every point. Candice does this with her characteristic humor and fresh, straightforward approach, resulting in a wake-up call that empowers mothers like her to take control, rejecting parenting rules to become mothers in their own way.
