“Many Black women are ashamed of being single moms. Our brand is... not painting single motherhood as this dire sad thing. It’s about empowering each other and not judging one another.” How 'Good Moms, Bad Choices' celebrates Black motherhood
Sitting with them, one cannot help but notice the flair and confidence in which they carry themselves, something they each fought tooth and nail to get and maintain. The podcast was created out of a need for Black mothers to be seen and put in the forefront. Even if there were mommy groups, the majority of the spaces were white and the conversations around mothering primarily centered the children, while ignoring the needs and desires of the mother.
What makes Good Moms Bad Choices stand out is that although they do talk about the beauty and plights of motherhood, it’s largely about breaking out of the stereotypical and societal notions of motherhood and reclaiming the core of who you are and your desires. “I think a large part of their audience are mothers but take me for an example, I’m not a mom but I love their show,” says Chelsea Edwards, a fan of the podcast who attended the Atlanta and New York live viewings. “Listening to them is like talking to your friends. Not only do they talk about sex but they talk about healing and manifestations. I also love the fact that they do kink and BDSM because it is taboo in the Black community.
“I don’t know what I would do without her. This space has really given us the security to validate each other’s decisions, like ‘Oh, you want to go on vacation for a week? I got you, I’ll take your child.’”
