Mailbag Episode Part ONE: Self-Worth, Youth and Privacy, Single Mom’ing Oh My!

 


 


Does being a STRONG single mother for so long
effect how you handle a new healthy
relationship?

 


Mailbag Episode Part ONE:


Without even thinking about this question, it’s a HARD YES.


As black women we have this thing where (in more cases that
not) we want to be independent.


We want to do things on our own. We don’t like relying on
others to do things for us. 


That is multiplied times three OR MORE when you are a black
single mom because you’re accustomed to doing things on your
own. 


When you’re a black single mom you’re often operating from that
“I don’t need a man” space; which is not necessarily a bad
thing, but as cliché as it sound, people need people. 


You can’t do life alone, which means you most certainly can’t
be a strong black mom without the support of others.

Tune in now to see how Natty and I answered this question, along
with two others that we pulled from our mail bag.

hope you’ll tune in.
