The Things We Don’t Talk About: Healing, Identity & Women’s Stories with Marothi Kutu

Loading player...
We sit down with author and executive producer Marothi Kutu, whose debut book The Things We Do Not Talk About has been called a warm hug, a mirror, and a brave invitation to face ourselves.

Marothi opens up about writing through shame, heartbreak, motherhood, mental health, and the silent battles many women carry. We explore the power of vulnerability, dismantling the “strong Black woman” narrative, and reclaiming the courage to tell our stories.
