HERE ARE THE RAINBOW MUMS!

LAUNCH WEDS OCTOBER 23RD

The first two series of RAINBOW DADS established us as part of a great LGBTQ+ conversation about rainbow parenting. We won Bronze in the National Podcast Awards, Silver in the Community Radio Awards, made guest contributions in numerous podcasts, and connected to allies all over the world. Also 15,000 + downloads to date!

So now we are back with our new series – RAINBOW MUMS – Stories of Gay and Bisexual parents. This time we have a wonderful new interviewer – Sarah Pletts – who will be our guide through the stories of five fabulous Mums. These include – becoming an older mum to a daughter with Downs Syndrome, exploring what it means to be a non-biological Mum, sexuality and faith in a Muslim family, the joys of polyamory parenting, and how it’s never to late to heal a traumatic upbringing.

Come and join us in celebrating the bravery, the vulnerability, and the extraordinary diversity of rainbow parenting – and perhaps as you listen you will hear some of your own stories too?

PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING, SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO PRODUCE RAINBOW DADS, MUMS, KIDS AND MORE.
