AWAS 036: Heart Picked - An Interview with Author Sara Crutcher

Both ABM and Mimi have written numerous times about their fears in raising their daughters in an environment that seems to devalue their lives because of skin color. On this episode, the ladies talk about discuss a recent episode of ABC’s Blackish entitled “Hope.” ABM and Mimi wrestle with some of the themes in the show and chat about what they are doing to address their own fears.

On the second segment, the ladies welcome Sara Crutcher to the Add Water family. Sara recently published Heart Picked: Elizabeth’s Adoption Tale. Recognizing the dearth of adoption books featuring Black families and fulfilling her personal dream to write children's’ books, Sara tells the tale of a young curly haired girl named Elizabeth who is adopted into a same race family. The book is beautifully illustrated and an entertaining read for anyone.

During the Wind Down, Mimi and ABM get their laughs on catching up on the hilarity that is Empire. They also debate whether Empire matriarch, Cookie Lyon is the archetype for mothering. Are you a ride or die mom?
