This week on Coffee Morning Laughter, Shilz and Djenys are unpacking the unspoken expectations and emotional weight that comes with the title of godparent. What happens when someone you trusted to help guide your child through life ghosts the role? Or worse—moves mad?
From the spiritual significance behind choosing a godparent to the real-life drama of unkept promises, the hosts explore the complexities of this sacred bond. Djenys opens up about her personal take on godparenting, why intention matters, and the one question she believes people need to ask before saying yes: “Why do you want me to be your child’s godparent?”
Shilz and Djenys don't always agree—on confronting no-show godparents, for example—but they do land on one truth: this role should never be taken lightly. It’s about consistency, accountability, and showing up, especially when it counts.
Whether you’re a parent, a godparent, or part of the extended village raising a child, this episode is your reminder that love, presence, and respect go further than titles ever will.#CoffeeMorningLaughter #CMLpodcast #Godparents #ChosenFamily #ModernParenting #ParentingVillage #RealTalk #AccountabilityMatters #BlackParenting #FamilyRoles
