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 yet often biting takes, Lemieux suffers no fools while also courageously revealing the scars of her own parenting journey and search for self-acceptance in a world that doesn’t see the full worth of women like her. With a particular verve and relatability—honed, in part, from her many years among “Black Twitter’s” most prominent voices—Lemieux puts the lived reality of Black single motherhood: uncertainty, fierceness, and sensuality on full display. Interspersed with beautifully written personal narrative, lsteners iwill find cultural and historical analysis, and interviews with single mothers from all walks of life, telling it how it really is.


Black. Single. Mother. is a bold testament to the multifaceted Black single mother and an invitation to all listeners to finally recognize this powerful figure for who she is—not bad, but so, so good.
