Mothering as Art with Dr. Lyneia Richardson
Episode 91
Tuesday, 17 March, 2026
SHOW NOTES Transcript Dr. Lyneia Richardson's Bio Dr. Lyneia Richardson is a mother, psychologist, educator, and the editor of Mothering as a Work of Art: A Black Mama Anthology. Her work centers on Black maternal mental health, exploring how race, culture, and identity shape the experience of motherhood. Through therapy, research, and storytelling, she reframes mothering as a powerful, creative, and culturally rooted practice. Dr. Richardson supports high-achieving mothers navigating identity shifts, perinatal transitions, and the invisible labor of care.

Following the birth of my first-born child, I was able to find my passion in working almost exclusively with the perinatal population. My clinical and research interests have centered around the issues of women from the African diaspora in the context of race and culture, highlighting the intersectionality of race and gender. While my research has always focused on the mental health needs of women, becoming a mother allowed me to see a more unique experience of womanhood that calls for an even more specialized approach. My clinical approach acknowledges that mothering is not an individual experience but one of community, and I strive to create that village-community experience for my clients. As a psychologist and educator, I take a similar approach to teaching by recognizing the inherit community in the educational experience. Following the African philosophy of Ubuntu, "I am because we are," I strive to create an experience of community and connectedness in the online learning community environment with my students.
