Chile, She Got It From Her Momma

Chile, Please

Add to that the pressures of racism and classism and let's just say you end up with a lot to talk about! Listen in as Felicia and Ivy chat with award-winning culture reporter and author, Helena Andrews-Dyer about her experience as a Mom and her new book, The Mamas: What I Learned About Kids, Class & Race From Moms Not Like Me.
