I'm Aisha Roscoe, and this is the Sunday Story from Up First.
It's Mother's Day, and today on the show, we're celebrating single moms.
Because single motherhood is actually flourishing in America.
And it's not like what you might think.
These moms, most of them aren't teens.
I'm 44.
I'm 38.
And they aren't all struggling.
I am a family law attorney.
I work for a major nonprofit.
I make decent money.
That was Savannah Lawrence and Boomi Akina Sotu.
These moms, they're choosing to have families on their own.
Christine Williams is a former firefighter.
I don't remember who said it to me, but someone said, if you never get married, I think you're going to be okay.
But if you never have a child, how will you feel about that?
And I remember thinking, I would regret that forever.
Today on The Sunday Story, we're rethinking single motherhood in America.
Stay with us.
