The Momference Minis: Kobe & Odua on Twinhood, Trauma, and Comparative Identity
Manage episode 494507987 series 3537189
This spring, That Twin Mama took the mic to The Momference® — the premier, three-day gathering for Black and Brown millennial moms, powered by District Motherhued®. In a weekend designed to nourish, uplift, and celebrate #BlackMomMagic, Lauren cozied up with powerhouse moms, thought leaders, and healers to bring you these bite-sized, big-hearted episodes straight from the DC mom squad rewriting what community care looks like.
In this mini episode, Lauren chats with trauma therapist Kobe Campbell and her twin sister, Odua, for a raw, funny, soul-tingly convo about what it’s like growing up as a twin in a world obsessed with comparing you. They unpack birth order drama (twin A vs twin B), the weirdest twin questions they’ve ever gotten, and why it matters so much to help twins see themselves as whole, separate people. Plus: how parents can talk about differences before the world does — and why that can be healing for all our kids.
In this episode you’ll hear:
- Why people love comparing twins (and how Kobe’s term comparative identity explains it all)
- How birth order shows up in twin dynamics (and why Lauren’s keeping it secret for now!)
- The wild questions twins get asked
- Real talk on how to protect your kids’ soft spots — twin or not
