Podcast Description
Power Sisters features three lifelong friends who’ve juggled the demands of having high-powered careers along with the challenges of raising their families.
This trio of black women - Rachel, Elaine and Caroline met at school in Streatham in the early 90s. They share stories of friendship, love, marriage, divorce, careers, motherhood. And talk candidly about the prejudice they’ve encountered, their struggles to get to the top of their chosen professions and the pressure they’ve felt as representatives of their respective communities.
Rachel is a communications executive who has worked at No 10 for both Theresa May and Boris Johnson. Elaine has established a successful senior role in education and has been on a healing journey since a car accident in 2022. Caroline is a lawyer.
Friends for three decades, they've been through it all - and the one constant? Each other.

How do you deal with your children becoming adults, doing grown-up things?
Elaine’s managing sleepovers with her son and his girlfriend: “having a girlfriend has changed him in so many positive ways” she says. Rachel’s laughing: “in which life would my mother have let me?” “Never!” Elaine answers.
Their children expect them to be different from the generation that raised them, but they ask: “does that mean that we need to accept everything? Not everything about the way we’ve been brought up is necessarily wrong.”
