Helena Andrews-Dyer lives in a “hot” Washington, D.C., neighborhood, which means picturesque row houses and plenty of gentrification. After having her first child, she joined the local mom group—“the Mamas”—and quickly realized that being one of the only Black mothers in the mix was a mixed bag. But spending time in what she calls “the Polly Pocket world of postracial parenting” was a welcome reprieve. Then George Floyd happened. A man was murdered, a man who called out for his mama. And suddenly, the Mamas hit different.

Enlightening, engaging, and humorous
Revisado: 11-21-22
This was one of the best books I have read in a long time. Hearing the author’s experience was not only validating as a mother but also really helped to illustrate the intersectionality of race, class, gender, parenthood, and era in a manner that helps you understand the experiences of many moms and particularly moms of color on a more visceral level. I’d recommend this book for anyone who wants to have a deeper understanding of these societal issues and enjoy an engaging and humorous writing style along the way.
