Through her signature candid, humorous and yet often 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 doesn’t see the full worth of women like her.

Kate Lawler has never been maternal. And yet here she is: mother to Noa, after years of going back and forth about having children at all.

But it will show you that you're not alone.
