Role Of Mothers - Thursday May 6

It's a celebration of mothers, in all forms. Family therapist Dr. Gayanni DeSilva will explain the everchanging role of moms (and dads) during the pandemic.

Hosts Dara Kennedy and Maya Shwayder will also explore surrogacy. The rewards are often fulfilling, however the process of surrogacy can be challenging. Jessica Stumpf, Executive Director of the Vermont Surrogacy Network will talk about her experience as a surrogate mother and how her organization recruits both surrogates and potential families.

The show will also examine the concept of Drag Mothers and House Mothers. Learn how for decades these figures helped the LGBTQ+ community find mentorship in a conversation with drag queen Robin Fierce.
