🎙️ Mama’s Still Here
with Bonita Payton
They don’t visit. They don’t call. And when they do, it’s short.But Mama’s still here — praying, waiting, surviving... in silence.
Hosted by Bonita Payton, author of She Rises and host of Unbreakable, Unapologetic, and Unstoppable, Mama’s Still Here is a raw, unfiltered, and necessary podcast that gives voice to the invisible heartbreak of mothers—especially black mothers — who feel forgotten, dismissed, or emotionally abandoned by the very children they raised.
This podcast says what so many women keep locked inside:
The pain of being overlooked
The sting of silence during the holidays
The quiet desperation of walking into doctor’s offices alone
The question nobody wants to ask: What happens when the kids stop coming back?
This is not a pity party — it’s a call for presence, healing, and truth.
If you’re a mother carrying unspoken grief... or a son or daughter ready to break a generational cycle — this space is for you.
Because Mama is still here.And she deserves more than flowers once a year.
