I love the idea of co-inhabiting for Black single mothers. I am a college educated single mom,with 2 kids. One is adopted, & think that we are being misrepresented by false associations with our income. It’s time to work together. I recently came across a site called: coAbode.org; which places single moms together in housing and childcare. Excellent! This is a game changer. If we start getting the same income levels as Patriarchal married folk; then they will begin to respect us as equals. It should not take capitalism to do this, but at least they could not attempt to lie; when they see that our children are just as happy, healthy , and successful as theirs. There is no excuse for the current amount of discrimination that we endure. And it’s not only the income, it’s the support from others who are similar,and living the same lifestyle; which would create a larger support network. I am so tired of two stupid married people, getting reprieve for their behavior; while we get continually vilified for just being ‘unattached’ in a relationship. It’s time for that caveman mentality to stop. We need to form our own networks, make them legal, legit., and permanent portions of our families and foundations.
