1 in 5 pregnancies end in a miscarriage, but learning the risk is 43% higher in Black women has the BMU ladies speechless, due to the deafening silence on this issue.
Thankfully, there are Black women who are selflessly sharing their stories - one of them being fashion, fitness and lifestyle content creator, Aliyah Maria Bee.
She talks with us about experiencing a stillbirth twice, and how she coped with her losses.
Let’s be upfront [TRIGGER WARNING]: This episode may bring on some tears, but Aliya’s radiant positivity and faith reminds us that there is a rainbow after the storm, (and in many forms)

Which BMU sister is saying no to playdates and sleepovers; Who has no interest is mixing with other school mums; And who has no problem with their child sitting on the lap of their ex's new partner? Natalie, Carina and Nana-Adwoa go head to head in the latest episode, realising that they really do have different parenting styles, perhaps because of the way they were parented themselves. And one of the girls surprises us all!

Trigger Warning.
This episode we discuss the horrific case of :-
Child Q, a fifteen year old girl who was unjustly stripped searched by Metropolitan police officers after teachers accused her of smelling of cannabis.
Child Q – who was having her period at the time – was made to remove her clothing, underwear and a sanitary pad, spread her buttocks and cough.
Child Q is Black.
This week we delve into why Black girls are not afforded the same innocence as their white counterparts. Are schools doing enough? Should we be warning young girls about the police? And how can we protect our daughters? Join Carina, Natalie and Endy as we share our own experiences and ask what we can learn from this gross misconduct. 🚫

Did Will Smith honour his wife by slapping Comedian Chris Rock who made a distasteful joke about her? Or did Smith cross the line and display unhinged violence? It has divided the opinion of many but was there a deeper side to it? In a BMU first, Nana-Adwoa and husband, Donald, and Lauren and partner, Ryan, discuss the deeper side of committed relationships and one of the men owns up to doing the same thing for his woman once.
