About Us
Welcome to The Black Hues Society: Voices Across the Spectrum!
My name is Rosland Martin, and I’m a voice actor and proud mom of a young adult with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This podcast was born from my personal journey and the understanding that Black parents of adult children with ASD face unique challenges—and triumphs—that deserve to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
Mission
The Black Hues Society: Voices Across the Spectrum is more than just a podcast; it’s a community—a sacred space where Black parents navigating life with their adult children on the spectrum can find connection, camaraderie, and understanding.
We know your journey involves not only the realities of autism but also navigating systemic barriers like racial discrimination, healthcare inequities, and societal biases. In these moments of complexity, it’s easy to feel isolated. But here, no explanations are needed. This is your tribe—a place where we “get it.”
What to Expect
Each episode dives into meaningful topics that resonate with our community, featuring:
- Thoughtful conversations with experts in autism, self-care, education, mental health, and more.
- Personal stories and shared experiences from parents like you.
- Practical advice for navigating life with ASD as a Black parent.
- Tips to prioritize your well-being while caregiving.
- Moments of laughter, inspiration, and encouragement to remind you that you're never alone.
