She also shares how she’s found community abroad.
Mo also shares why she has given her unborn child an identity before birth and why it’s important for women to rethink their “white picket fence” model.

In honor of the last week of Slutever June, Good Moms are joined by actress, comedian, and boss ass mama, Xosha Roquemore!

This week Xosha shares how having a 4-year-old put her sexy on hold and how getting back to it feels so liberating yet uncomfortable especially after only being with her child father for many years. We also discuss the stigma of being a black single mom and the assumptions that come along with the title.


Jamilah shares her perspective on co-parenting and why it’s in your best interest to let the new girlfriend of the week play step mommy (sometimes).

Xosha also discusses how difficult it can be to feel successful when your partner is also a successful actor and how she got the confidence to fully walk in her power and acknowledge her major success and glow up!
Homegirl is 🌟

Make sure you check out Xosha on @showtime Black Monday and the new Space Jam movie!

Tribe, we are nearing the end of Slutever June so this week Good Moms take a trip down memory lane!

In this week’s episode, Erica and Milah read real entires from their childhood diaries. They explore where their curiosity for sexual exploration originated and realize every step of their journey, both separately and together, is intentionally and divinely woven together.

Erica shares an entry from 1995 where she confesses her childish crush on her cousin. She also admits to being an avid young cheater and reads a freestyle she wrote to her ex-boyfriend after he “dissed” her.

Milah shares why she created a secret language and reads entries of teenage arguments she had with her parents and her early obsession with love.

This is a very telling, personal, and enlightening episode! Enjoy!
