Recently, host Brittany Luse has found herself curious about motherhood. As she’s thought about the kind of mom she might be, she looked for models in film and TV – and found that there’s little room for mothers, and Black moms in particular, to be anything but excellent. From Brittany’s previous podcast, For Colored Nerds, a discussion with her former co-host Eric Eddings about motherhood and misbehavior, and why less than perfect is more than enough.
