 The Black Mother Wound |
iHeartMedia and Charlamagne Tha God's Black Effect Podcast Network have added "The Black Mother Wound Podcast" to their lineup, selecting the show as the winner of the "Pitch Your Podcast" competition at last year's Black Effect Podcast Festival.
Hosted by Jennifer Arnise, the weekly podcast focuses on the complex and often painful relationships Black women have with their mothers and the lasting impact of those dynamics. The show features candid conversations exploring generational patterns and how those experiences shape identity, relationships, boundaries, ambition and overall well-being.
Arnise said winning the competition affirmed the importance of sharing stories that often go unspoken. She described the podcast as a supportive space for Black women navigating healing and self-discovery, offering perspectives she wished had been available earlier in her own journey.
Dollie S. Bishop, President of Production and Creative Development for the Black Effect Podcast Network, said the show addresses an underserved topic while offering a path toward healing. She added that Arnise's original pitch stood out during the festival and aligns with the network's mission to amplify meaningful voices.
The announcement comes ahead of the fourth annual Black Effect Podcast Festival, scheduled for April 25 at Pullman Yards in Atlanta. The event will again feature the "Pitch Your Podcast" booth, giving creators the opportunity to present show ideas directly to the network.
"The Black Mother Wound Podcast" is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and is available on the iHeartRadio app and other podcast platforms, with new episodes released weekly on Tuesdays.
