What Helena Andrews-Dyer Learned about Parenting and Race from Moms Not Like Her

For our ongoing back-to-school week series, we talk about parenting and race. Helena Andrews-Dyer, senior culture writer for The Washington Post, has a new book called, The Mamas: What I Learned About Kids, Class, and Race from Moms Not Like Me. The book is about her experience as a black mom in a group called "The Mamas," a group of neighborhood moms who live in a rapidly gentrifying D.C neighborhood. After the protests for racial justice in 2020, Andrews-Dyer found her relationship to "The Mamas" change, and wanted to understand why. She joins us to discuss, and take calls from parents. *This segment is guest-hosted by Kerry Nolan.
