Raising strong, proud and resilient girls of colour with Dr. Saira Sabzaali
Being a parent, the worry and fear of being able to help our children - especially our daughters, find their place in this world and be able to feel a sense of belonging and confidence in who they are can feel overwhelming. Adding in the extra layer of being a “girl of colour” in a world that may not look like them or the family that surrounds them, creates a whole different experience and consideration that we have to take on as mothers. How do we raise strong, proud and resilient girls...especially girls of colour?
In this episode, we're so proud to feature the amazing Dr. Saira Sabzaali - a therapist with a Ph.D. who helps people incorporate their cultural backgrounds and spiritual beliefs into counselling. Saira is a mom of 2 strong, proud and resilient kids, and we focus this episode on her experiences raising the beautiful and spirited Rabia. Full of nuggets of wisdom and lived experience, we highlight the layers and complexities of being a mindful and purposeful parent and what it takes to make the right impacts on our children.
