In this episode of #NowThatsaWord, I am discussing the difficulty of being single. I was inspired to do this episode after my friend Steph, yes, the same friend from the Single in the City episode and yes, we are both still single and living in the city, dropped a link in our group chat to a 2016 article written by Candice Benbow on black women and singleness.

In this episode of #NowThatsaWord, I am talking about parenting. No, I am not a parent myself, but I’ve been parented and in this episode I am giving an account of my experience with my officious mother, my father’s absence, my sometimes apathetic aunt and an older sister who was somewhat a stickler for discipline.

In this bonus episode of #NowThatsaWord, I am discussing some of my views that may make me look like a "Bad Feminist." Give me some Photoshop. Alicia Keys should probably wear a bit of concealer. I'm not a fan of sharing most public places with children. If you aren't married, you're single. My husband will be the "head of household." Yes to body positivity, but also, shape wear. Oh, and is more than two, maybe three children really necessary?

In this bonus episode of #NowThatsaWord, I'm coming for all those old wives tales your mom told you that have been disproven, but you refuse to let go of. Still "washing" your meat? Still taking baths at night to not "catch a cold?" I'm talking to you!
