Word Up welcomes mental health advocate and storyteller Leah 수진 Kim to discuss her new book, Mom, Unfiltered: Maternal Mental Health and Finding Freedom Through Motherhood, a deeply personal examination of the dire state of our maternal and postpartum care for mothers.
In conversation with Kim will be Frederick Joseph, author of This Thing of Ours and Patriarchy Blues: Reflections on Manhood.
This event is a $5 suggested donation ticket with 30 max attendees. Please register in advance.
ABOUT THE BOOK
For expecting and new parents, too often the care is so focused on a healthy baby that the mother’s physical and mental needs are overlooked. Mothers face intense pressure to have the perfect birth plan, breastfeed with ease, and immediately bond with their baby. Unfortunately, these expectations can lead to anxiety, depression, and overwhelm. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Mom, Unfiltered is profoundly personal and brutally honest, yet it is ultimately deeply hopeful. It is about survival and growth, an invitation to move beyond our current social, cultural, and familial realities to support mothers in a meaningful way-physically, mentally, and spiritually.
