In this episode, we listen to an advocate with MomBiz Boss and a mother of children who experience developmental and mental health challenges. She speaks about being a mother of color and the experiences of raising children with both visible and invisible disabilities. Advocacy organizations discussed in the Podcast: National Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health - A national family-run organization linking more than 120 chapters and state organizations focused on the issues of children and youth with emotional, behavioral, or mental health needs and their families. It was conceived in Arlington, Virginia in February, 1989 by a group of 18 people determined to make a difference in the way the system works. https://www.ffcmh.org/ Younger Years and Beyond - A local chapter of National Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health that focuses on mental health and behavioral health challenges for children starting at pre-school through beyond. https://www.facebook.com/theyoungeryearsandbeyond/ Zaria’s Song - We Provide Support & Resources to Parents and Caregivers with Children Experiencing Physical, Cognitive, Behavioral and Mental Health Challenge http://ateducational.wixsite.com/zariassong   Transcription [music background] Women’s Voice: Welcome to “Ask the Advocate” where mental health advocates share their journeys to advocacy and what it has meant for their lives. “Ask the Advocate” is a Mothers on the Frontline production. Today, we will hear from Shanta, a mother of three, a clinician, and an advocate. This interview was recorded at the 2017 National Federation of Families for Children's Mental Health Conference in Orlando, Florida. During this recording, you can hear noise in the background from another event in the hotel. Please don't let these noises distract you from Shanta's story. Dionne: Hello. Thank you very much for agreeing to do this. Would you like to introduce yourself? Teresa: Sure. Thank you very much for having me. I'm Teresa Wright Johnson, and I will say that I'm a mother first and then an advocate. I believe motherhood is very challenging as a business, so I'm kind of known as an advocate and a MOMBiz Boss, and we'll talk about that later. But I'm a mom of children that were born with developmental challenges as well as physical challenges and children that have mental health challenges, learning disabilities, and more. And I advocate for them. Dionne: And you advocate for them. So Teresa, tell us a little bit about your advocacy journey. Teresa: So my journey began-- I'm the mother of four children. I bore four children. Unfortunately-- but still, fortunately, have one living child. So I had several children that died very early on when they were born. And then my other two children were also preemies. In coming-- you know this is November. This is National Pre-maturity Birth Month-- Awareness Month. A lot of people don't know that. And with premature children, sometimes you have greater risk factors. And some of the risk factors that happened and that were indicated with my first child who was Zaria-- and I have do so much for Zaria in her name. She was born with various disabilities, more physical and cognitive. She had cerebral palsy as well as metabolic disorders like mitochondrial syndrome. She also had seizures, low-birth weight, feeding issues, mobility issues, just so many different issues. But guess what? That did not sway me. I wanted to be a mother. And once I found out I was going to be a mother to Zaria, I started to getting training at the hospital-- Dionne: Oh, wow, Teresa: -- so that I could be the best advocate for her. So over the years with Zaria, I started my own support group for mothers of color called Special Treasures, because I feel that our children are not just special-needs children. They are special treasures. They are treasures that open us up, expand us, push us way beyond our comfort zones, and stuff.
