Candice Braithwaite gets real on female breadwinning | Ep. 12 Working Hard, Hardly Working Podcast
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 вер 2024
- Candice Brathwaite is a Sunday Times best-selling author, presenter and journalist, and I'm so grateful to have sat down with her for the latest episode of my Working Hard, Hardly Working podcast.
Initially a content creator and ‘mumfluencer’, Candice Brathwaite began posting on her socials in 2015 to document her own journey of motherhood.
While Candice was keen to represent the realities that young black families face, and steer away from the existing ‘yummy mummy’ stereotype online, the realities of the blogger industry appeared a little harsher than expected.
A great chat about everything from her traumatic experiences in birth, female 'breadwinners' to her journey as a best-selling author.
thank you for watching!

Every time I listen to Candice I feel myself grow as a person. The pearls of wisdom she drops are unreal. Her experience is so interesting and inspiring.
Call me when you're free.
It's great to see this, as a black woman. Since the beginning of TALA and way before BLM movement, Grace have been vocal about issues faced by minorities and has included all skin models and sizes. It's great that without being 'in your face' about it or weaponising it, that we get to see a conversation about it.
Thank you Grace
Majority in the world minority in England. I appreciate your posting
What an incredibly wise and articulate woman, I adore Candice and have been a very loyal follower for many years. Such an incredible woman.
Amazing interview!
Candice I am 57 year old black American and you make feel so Liberating and unapologetic for who I am especially when I’m the only black women board room.
Thank you Sista
Love conversation like this. Open raw and candid truth. Thank you for this Grace.
Probably the best interview I’ve listened to / watched this year. Thank you. X
Absolutely love listening to Candice. What an articulate, intelligent and compassionate woman. A goddess inside and out!
When will white people stop calling us “articulate”👀?
Oh my god - this flew by. First time viewer and only came cos of Candice. Loved it xx
I NEEEEEEDED TO HEAR THIS ! I learn so much from Candice on so many levels. She is so inspiring and I just love how honest she is about her journey, or transparent maybe that's more fitting word. Even with her OOTD reels. LOVE!
Candice is brilliant wherever she is given a platform, a much needed voice in the media circus who is not a clown but a true Ringmaster.
Sooo glad a mummy blogging space no longer exists it’s AMAZING! Partly due to the shit that went down with CH. All the best to Candice, she knows who I am, she knows I’ve supported her. And I’m happy to see her successful.
This was great! I admittedly switched off a little when I realised it was a mummy blogger but no, this was wonderful!!
Obviously 11 months late to the chat - but loved this. The uncomfortable truths is all I needed! X
Learnt alot more about Candice and I am gladder for it. Very aspirational ❤ #blackgirlmagic
So sad to hear your struggles in the mother blogger space. People forget to break glass ceilings for others you still get cut on the way up. Cheers for pushing through.🎉❤
What an absolute delightful, insightful conversation this was. Girl you now have my subscription.
I'm currently taking a university course on called Sex and Gender in the Economy and discussing the economics or marriage and bargaining power is so valuable. I loved the conversation you two had towards the end of this episode, so important!!
A $43,000 profit sent to my portfolio each week, Mrs. Angela cole carr is amazing.
Wow!! How's that possible?
Mrs Angela Cole Carr is the only one I can leave my investment with and think less about it, she is my money maker. just received 24,300 of my investment last month. am very happy because she is leading me to financial freedom.
Extraordinary is the right word to describe Mrs Angela, she's experience as a trader and her signals are so accurate. have profited over $60,000 from last month of working with her.
Mrs. Angela has made me a lot, I've been following her for a while now but this week takes the money cake Made $38,569 US dollars. Much love from Germany 🇩🇪
@George Wilson How do start trading with her, keep seeing her name pop up all over the place and I and my family are interested👍
thanks for expanding my world through your story Candice
1 year later and I love this discussion! Very refreshing 💖✨
So enlightening!
Absolutely loved this! Candice, you are so eloquent and articulate yet so endearing and funny - and, I guess, just the 'girl next door'. Always love hearing you speak, you are so inspiring
Love Candice! She is Amazing
Such a marvellous connection between guest and interviewer..... Incredible platform
this was perfect!
The whole discussion around these motherhood lifestyle bloggers/ vloggers is disappointingly true. Behind closed doors some of these perfect mummy characters have some questionable behaviour. In the last few years there’s been so many scandals surrounding these ‘perfect’ mums. Just another reminder that not everything or everyone on the internet is as they seem.
Amazing conversation. Quite enlightening 👏🏾
Second time watching this one and it DOESN'T disappoint!
great interview👋🏾
I LOVED this interview soooo much! WOW parts of Candice’s journey resonate with me so much! Candice is so inspiring!! 🔥🔥🔥
Love your podcast Grace. Not sure if anyone has said but I think Candice surname is spelt wrong on the video title xx
Absolutely adore Candice and love this conversation.
Constructive feedback - I don’t think you let the guests talk enough - it’s like you do a lot of the talking which is great at you’re eloquent but it’s a bit like why bring them on then try to pre-empt everything they’re going to say/ trying to say why not just let them say it.
This is the first time I’m watching your Podcast and WOW I love it!
Loved this so much! Candice is everything.
Love the realness and honesty. 🙏🏾♥️💕
Thank you Grace
This was brilliant! Loved every minute.
Love this conversation 😍
Just started to listen to your podcasts. Great advice from both videos I have watched.
Really enjoyed this interview 💕✨
Thank you for introducing us to Candace, all the way from Miaminin the US. Love her already and just followed on IG. I agree with all aspects of how she parents! Nothing wrong with helping your kids get to their destination faster. Love the style too 👌
Hello Omary 👋
How are you doing
Great interview
I love that the British black and white people come together and figure out issues in America that rarely happens or if it does you can tell it's not genuine
Love your outfit and your friend. Thanks for sharing this sweetie.
Love Candice
So nice channel :))) Love it! I Found today and I will stay for more Kisses!
WHEW!!!! I feel her!!!
I enjoyed this interview and follow Candice on several media outlets. However I disagree with the idea that nepotism levels the playing field. Nepotism (regardless of who it's for) still only benefits the selected population who can benefit from that access. I'm all for creating generational wealth, especially as a black woman, but in my opinion merit should be the determining factor for achievement. "the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change."- Audre Lorde. Using tools that were designed to put others at a disadvantage doesn't mean that if we start using them somehow it makes it empowering.
But what do you suggest when the fight isn't 'fair'? Like if white people use nepotism all the time and refuse to stop, what will we gain by not using it?
@@honeybee7855 The question is who’s gaining from it? Nepotism ONLY benefits the group who can benefit from it-even if black. Nepotism is a form of unfair advantage and would only further disenfranchise others who would miss out on opportunities that should be obtained by being actually qualified and working hard. Even Candice said she herself won a competition for her publishing job. Don’t you think that the reason a competition would even need to be held in the first place would be due to practices such as nepotism?( in addition to other unfair practices)
I’m not in support of nepotism regardless of who’s using it! It’s a tool of oppression and shouldn’t be used by any group. Rather than a parent encourage their children to get ahead on their parents name they should be installing in their children to work hard and do what’s necessary to make themselves marketable and qualified to fairly compete.

@@LivingREEdefined I think nepotism happens on varying scales throughout life and is a normal part of familial behaviour. If I own a small business for example, it's my prerogative to pass on the running to my kids regardless of whether it's 'fair' or not because I own it - I get to pass on things to my kids because they're mine. On a smaller scale it might be a piece of expensive jewellery you inherit if a parent passes away - you didn't earn it, it's just your because your parent gave it to you. I think it would be wild to suggest for example, that the owner of a local butchers shouldn't be allowed to pass it on to his daughter unless he publicly advertised the job. It's his business.
. I think public sector or big multinational businesses that are publicly traded are a different story and totally agree that hiring practices should be transparent and fair.
I think the people who benefit in situations where Black people employ nepotism are ....other Black people...you can't stop white people from doing it and they won't stop, so if you are a Black person in a position of power, giving hook ups to other people is often the way many of us get our foot through the door. Refusing to for example, allow the child of a friend to do work experience with you because it's nepotism just further perpetuates inequalities. I've been able to mentor and give advice, help, experience to young Black kids in my specific field and I literally am passing it on because someone did the same for me. It's not the same as direct family but it is a form of allowing someone access to opportunities and experiences they wouldn't have otherwise had, and that other people at their same level don't have, based on affiliation to me. Is that also wrong?
@@honeybee7855 You mentioned several times about what white people do, I understand where you are coming from. For me I am not overly concerned with what white people do and I especially don't seek to emulate them, using their tactics for getting ahead especially when history has shown majority of those ways of accumulating power and wealth were done so at the literal lethal cost to others. So again for me it's back to the quote I used regarding the Master's tools because I don't seek to play that game or use an Eurocentric metrics to define success.
Regarding your example of a small business owner, never did I say or even imply any legality barring nepotism. If a business owner (big or small) wants to leave their company to their children, yes that is their right. However in my opinion it that decision to automatically leave your business to your children just simply because they are your children does not make good business sense. The question becomes in passing along the company is it not the goal for the business to no only continue but also grow? If so then wouldn't it make the most sense to ensure the legacy you built is going to the most capable hands? That could or could not be your children. Do not most companies seek out the most qualified candidates? If that parent wants to leave the business to their child would it not be wise to train the child up and ensure their child was not only qualified but in some way even earned that role (maybe working there and learning the business from the ground up). Sharing DNA is not enough. And that is my point- it is unwise in addition to unfair ( but not illegal) to ignore qualified candidates just because you want to hook up your child- especially if that child is unqualified. Imagine you are working under a boss who is totally incompetent, and you might have all the qualifications for that role but simply because they're the owners kid you have to suffer under their ignorant management. And despite it being the right of the business owner, if their legacy is runs into the ground by the under qualified child then they have no one else to blame but themselves. But of course if the child is qualified then yes, I agree with you it makes the most sense on a lot of levels to leave the business to your heir.
To your point second point I applaud you for giving back! Mentorship, giving advice, coaching and developing , etc are, even giving fair & earned opportunities ARE important, especially in our community! But it's not the same as nepotism and shouldn't be confused as such. I worked in workforce development for years, now in tech. One of my biggest goals is to work towards closing both the digital divide and wealth gap. Both in my career and in volunteer efforts I'v always shared whatever knowledge I have, opportunities I know about, mentor/coach, etc. One thing I've learned though is that opportunity has to meet effort. For example: If my job has an open internship I'm not going to automatically bring in a my nephew just simply because he is my family, especially if he has a poor work ethic, and no applicable skills. Now on the flip side I may know someone who is perfect for that role, and I would absolutely make the referral , introduction, etc. I would even hire them if w/i my authority. BUT that's because they were qualified, not simply because I know them- that's a bonus.
At the end of the day I do understand what you are saying and I respect your viewpoint.
God I fucking love Candice!
Grace is for u.
you spelt her last name wrong , god
