Mommy Spotlight

Every not and then I thought it’d be cool to spotlight a TV/movie mommy and some of her qualities, in an effort to show that we all mommy differently but we can still kill the game. This week’s mommy spotlight belongs to Rainbow “Bow” Johnson. Can we just take a moment and talk about how BOSS she is? She’s a mother of 5 children, a general anesthesiologist, a wife, a fashionista, and so much more; I love that she is isn’t solely defined by one label, she can do it all well! Shout out to the writers of the show in highlighting some of the struggles women go through; the episodes where they discussed preeclampsia AND postpartum depression were very helpful. What about that episode where she tried hiding her pregnancy at work? That resonated with me because I remember trying to hide my pregnancy when I went on an interview. I didn’t get the job (lol) and I wondered whether I wasn’t qualified enough for the position or because they could in fact see that I was pregnant and rejected me. Us woman should don’t be in that position to choose between our career and our family and Bow Johnson shows us we could do both! Tracee Ellis Ross did the damn thang with this role!
