Joining me in this episode is author Ylonda Gault and Afro-Latina textile artist Roachelle Negron.

We talk about the labels women place on themselves—and more often than not, have society place on them. Like why are white women calling themselves mama now? And should single mothers start calling themselves independent mothers like Roachelle does to sidestep any stigma and stereotypes?
