But being a mother, I think it's wrong if it doesn’t change you. K: I never wanted to admit motherhood would change me - before I had children, I denied that whole fact. GNP: How has motherhood affected your overall outlook on life? As a Black woman and mother this meant a lot to me and is an issue that I am acutely aware of and I sincerely hope we can change these statistics. So, we decided to partner with First Response and make a monetary donation to Black Mamas Matter - an organization that is doing great work on behalf of Black moms in the U.S.
So, I wanted to do something that would not only bring awareness to this issue but help to directly impact the cause.
The fact that Black women die at childbirth at three times the rate as white women is terrifying and unacceptable. Unfortunately, another effect of systematic and institutionalized racism is the Black maternal health crisis. But this idea came to me after witnessing all that was going on with our country after George Floyd - and obviously police brutality and racial injustice are things that have been going on long before that incident. I often joked that being on the farm, if I didn’t announce it, no one would have known I was having a baby until I popped up with a newborn one day in L.A. Thank you! Well, firstly I generally don’t do things like that because I’m pretty private when it comes to my family. From your perspective as a mother, why is this such a significant and important cause? First off, congrats on the new baby on the way! I saw on Instagram that you’re partnering with First Response Pregnancy to donate to Black Mamas Matter. GABRIELLE NICOLE PHARMS: Despite the current pandemic, there are so many praiseworthy blessings happening in your life.
KELIS KALEIDOSCOPE ERA HOW TO
Recently, Kelis spoke to Shondaland about balancing music and motherhood, the relaunch of Bounty & Full, and how to embrace your uniqueness amid a world that clings to classifications. “It’s just this is a time when it can be on autopilot and I’m able to explore and do other things. Music is always part of my life,” Kelis tells Shondaland. She’s still working on music and plans to release an album next year. Though Kelis has shifted gears by decamping to her farm and entering the world of gastronomy, her longtime fans can relax. All while preparing to tour in 2021 and welcome her third child - that’s that's right, Kelis is about to have a table for five!
KELIS KALEIDOSCOPE ERA FULL
Later this fall, Kelis has plans to rerelease her cookbook, My Life on a Plate, alongside relaunching Bounty & Full with an array of delicious sauces and bbq rubs. The greatest artists in the world were great because they spoke to an era, even if they were before their time, there was something that people could latch onto and they could recognize.
