June is Pride Month and with all the different paths to parenthood available for LGBTQ+ couples and individuals, it’s a great time to elevate these voices within the community.

Today’s episode features Mia Cooley, a Black, queer, mother of three whose desire to connect with families that looked like hers, created an inclusive community called xHood.

xHood is a safe space that supports Black and queer families through the journey of parenthood. It’s an area that’s often challenged by a lack of representation in the healthcare industry, in parenting groups, and even in local communities. The frustration of feeling ostracized has motivated Mia to create a center for advice, a venue for resources, a starting point for advocation in the workplace, and just a space vent.

In this episode, Mia shares why she started this organization, details of the annual Black Parent Pride Summit, and her path to parenthood.

Guest: Mia Cooley, Founder of xHood

Host: Dan Bulger, Progyny
