This episode is the kind of conversation that makes you exhale. Jamilah Lemieux joins the show to talk about her book, Black Single Mother - the title alone has had the internet buzzing around the topic.  Lemieux breaks down how single motherhood is a spectrum, not a stereotype, and how the current wave of public contempt is often about control, to place labels and struggle upon. 

If you’re dating as a single mom, her advice is practical and protective: be intentional, don’t rush introductions, and “listen to what they say. Believe what they say.” They also name how respectability politics and patriarchy shape shame in Black families, and why mothers deserve full lives: “Don’t write yourself out of the agenda… Include yourself.”
