“This is not the 40s.”

I mean, need Tamika say more? 🙌🏾

Moms become the default parents because they have been conditioned to believe that the bare minimum is the best they can expect from their partners. This same narrative has been ingrained in women and mothers for generations, making it difficult to shift the conversation surrounding default parenting.

Tamika Coleman shares with us her experience and biggest lessons from being a married single mom, going through a divorce, and eventually finding the courage to seek support from her village.
