As the final days of summer have slipped away and the school year is back into full swing, the weight of parental stress continues to rise, especially for Black families. While 33% of parents nationwide report heightened stress, according to an American Psychological Association’s 2023 survey. That number hits Black households harder, and they are looking for an outlet.
Ambra Redrick, CEO of Teen HYPE, launched the “Black Parenthood Podcast” on September 30th as part of the solution. This platform allows Black parents to share, heal, and find community. By shining a light on the unique challenges and triumphs of Black parenthood, Redrick hopes to foster resilience in the face of growing pressures.
Redrick emphasized this podcast will celebrate Black family life while tackling the challenges Black parents face.
“We’ll highlight the joys and successes of Black parenting—elements that are often overlooked in mainstream media,” Redrick said.
The first episode, “Black Parents Unite!”, covered Redrick’s journey from being a teen mom to now a nonprofit CEO and bonus mom to thousands of youths. For over two decades, Teen HYPE has been a youth champion, centering their voices while helping them prepare for the world.
