Video: Dr. Douglas Hosts Mother’s Day Special
[Updated] Dr. Ty Douglas will be hosting a Pre-Mother’s Day Special, with a number of special guests, including his own mother Lucy Douglas, Carmen Starling, Tracey Richardson and Heather Martin.
A spokesperson said, ” Join us on Saturday, May 8th at 6pm bda time for a dynamic pre-Mother’s Day Special conversation! Bermudian Author and Professor, Dr. Ty Douglas will host a conversation with some of his favorite mothers from Bermuda and around the world.
“Special guests include his mother–Lucy Douglas, a licensed professional counselor; Carmen Starling–a gifted educator and learner; Tracey Richardson–popular Bermudian singer; and Heather Martin–aka “Chef Mommy,” who is an author and member of American Grammy nominated gospel music trio “Virtue”.
“Much like last year’s Father’s Day Special, this conversation promises to be authentic, fun, and powerful! These amazing mothers have experienced the challenges and triumphs of motherhood, including topics we don’t always talk about like food preparation for children with food allergies and facing mother’s day after the loss of a mother.
“They will give you some of their tips and strategies for surviving and thriving as mothers and educators in the midst of a global pandemic. There promises to be some surprises and additional special guests from their families who will join the broadcast! There will also be a live chat, opportunities for ‘mother’s day shout outs to moms’ and time for some of your questions to be answered.”
