In This Episode: In this episode, we are talking everything from The Polygamist to the exploitation of mothering to what we lie about most. We also get into why the bar is in hell for fathers, Martissa’s trip to Beijing, and a little sneak peek of our conversation with Mama Shafia Monroe! This is for those of us who needed a good kiki and a reminder that we still got a reason to dance.
