<html><h3>You’re listening to Burnt Toast! Today my conversation is with Jamilah Lemieux.</h3>Jamilah is an award-winning writer, cultural critic, and leading voice in digital feminism, known for shaping online conversations around race, gender, and relationship. She writes the <a href="https://slate.com/human-interest/care-and-feeding" target="_blank">Care and Feeding Parenting Advice column</a> for Slate, and her work has appeared in outlets like the Los Angeles Times, Vanity Fair, and the Washington Post.<h3>Jamilah is also the author of the brand new book, <a href="https://splitrockbooks.com/book/9780593447543" target="_blank">Black. Single. Mother. Real Life Tales of Longing and Belonging</a>.</h3>I've been a fan of Jamilah from Slate's Care and Feeding Parenting Podcast, where she was a longtime co-host. Today we get into who gets to call themselves a single mom, the kind of social life co-parenting lets you have, the importance of friends, and we ask: Is dating (especially for single moms) a diet?<h3><a href="https://www.patreon.com/virginiasolesmith/join" target="_blank">Become a paid subscriber</a> to comment, get episode transcripts, and hear Indulgence Gospel — our new bonus segment, running after every episode!</h3><a href="https://www.patreon.com/cw/BigUndies/home" target="_blank">Corinne</a> hops on to debrief with me about my conversation with Jamilah.
