Ep. 35: Raising Ndamukong Suh

60 min • 16 mars 2023

Bernadette Suh has a fascinating story. Born in Jamaica and raised by her grandparents, she didn't meet her own mother until she moved to the U.S. when she was 15 years old. After living with her parents for three years in Boston, Bernadette moved across the country to go to college in Oregon. She started a career in Early Childhood Education, got married, and had two gifted children of her own.

Her daughter Ngum Suh, played soccer at Mississippi State and was a member of the Cameroon women's national team. Her son Ndamukong Suh was an All-American defensive lineman at Nebraska. One of the most decorated players in college football history, he was drafted second overall by the Detroit Lions in 2010. Suh has played for five NFL teams, competed in three Super Bowls, and in 13 NFL seasons has never missed a game because of an injury. He is currently with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Bernadette opens up about her childhood, how she raised her kids, and what she worried the most about as a mom. She divulges the one thing she wishes she had known before she got divorced, but also details why she is cherishing retirement and this current phase of life on her own. As an Early Childhood Educator for nearly 35 years, she has a unique take on the one thing she believes many parents are getting wrong.
