Downers Grove Public Library
Conference Room B (Max Capacity 10)We’ll discuss Black. Single. Mother.: Real Life Tales of Longing and Belonging by Jamilah Lemieux. Books are available at the Adult and Teen Services Desk one month before each discussion.
With her signature candid, humorous, and sometimes biting takes, Jamilah Lemieux suffers no fools while also courageously revealing the scars of her own parenting journey and search for self-acceptance in a world that hates “baby mamas.” With a particular verve and relatability, honed in her many years among Black Twitter’s most prominent voices, Lemieux centers the complex reality of Black single motherhood: uncertainty and fierceness alike.
