About this listen
A personal meditation on, examination of, and tribute to Black single motherhood, unapologetically told through poignant essays and candid interviews, by a celebrated cultural critic.
Through her signature candid, humorous, and sometimes biting takes, Lemieux suffers no fools while also courageously revealing the scars of her own parenting journey and search for self-acceptance in a "baby mama" hating world. With a particular verve and relatability— honed, in part, from her many years among Black Twitter’s most prominent voices—Lemieux centers the complex reality of Black single motherhood: uncertainty and fierceness, alike. Black. Single. Mother. combines riveting personal essays infused with whip-smart cultural and historical analysis, along with twenty-one intimate, first-person testimonies from a spectrum of Black single mothers.
A long overdue offering in celebration of the American matriarch most often maligned, Black. Single. Mother. sets out to inspire a new cultural and community dialogue about this powerful figure as one profoundly deserving of great love, support and respect.
