If These Ovaries Could Talk

l S15 EP2 l Jaimie sits down with Roberto Concepción to chat about his journey to solo parenthood as a gay dad through surrogacy. After his daughter’s birth, he noticed a severe gap in representation for families like his, and so, in true badass style, he decided to change that. He wrote and self-published a children's book called "More Than a Crown" to show his daughter a family like hers in the pages. It's all about embracing different family setups and encouraging kids to shake up old-school expectations. Jaimie ropes in her non-queer bud, Shephathia, to help kick the episode and dive into the main theme. Together, they stress the importance of addressing "stigmatized" issues, such as Shephathia's experience with her child on the autism spectrum. The conversation highlights the need for diverse and inclusive storytelling and the normalization that occurs from empowering individuals and families from all walks of life.
