    Stay or Leave? The Divorce Question No One Can Answer | Episode 88

    Are you navigating a no-fault divorce or looking for honest divorce advice?  Is any divorce really no-fault? Legally, yes. In real life, divorce still carries blame, shame, and the feeling of failure. In Episode 88, Dr. Michael Steven Williams and Dr. Marjorie Dorimé-Williams ask what no-fault divorce means and why the legal label does not make marriage problems, accountability, or pain disappear. Eight years after their own divorce, the Triple Cs have become unpaid divorce consultants for friends, friends of friends, and people trying to figure out what to say when a marriage is falling apart. They talk about why we celebrate weddings and baby showers while giving couples almost no support after the ceremony, why “did you try therapy?” is often the wrong question, and why friends can offer divorce advice that feels supportive but is not actually helpful. They also disagree about what is harder in marriage: changing or forgiving. If you are considering divorce, going through one, supporting someone through divorce, navigating a troubled marriage, or building a healthier relationship, this episode is for you. Inside the Episode: Is Any Divorce Really No-Fault? Dr. Marjorie explains the difference between no-fault divorce in the legal sense and the real-life fault, grief, and responsibility that families still have to confront. Why Divorce Still Feels Like Failure. The hosts discuss divorce stigma, divorce shame, and why being first among your friends to divorce can feel like a walk of shame. Grace vs. Accountability. Is every marriage problem a matter of shared responsibility, or are there times when someone must be held accountable? The hosts examine what outsiders can and cannot know about a private marriage. Marriage Is Like Pledging. Michael compares marriage to pledging and college orientation: all the support comes at the beginning, but the hardest work starts after you are already in. “Did You Try Therapy?” Is the Wrong Question. Marriage counseling and couples therapy are often treated as a last-minute repair job. They discuss when therapy can help, why both partners must participate, and why it is not a quick fix. Why Friends Give Bad Divorce Advice. Marjorie calls it “support by agreement” telling someone what they want to hear instead of offering relationship advice that considers the whole situation, including the children. The Phases of Divorce. The hosts explore the period before a decision, the decision itself, and why emotions make every stage of divorce and separation harder. Are We Doing Marriage Wrong? Why do we celebrate the beginning of marriage without building a plan for communication, connection, finances, attraction, and regular marriage check-ins? Can’t Change or Can’t Forgive? The episode’s sharpest disagreement: Marjorie argues that change is the hardest thing; Michael argues that forgiveness is harder. Who Deserves to Know? Parents may be biased, friends may project, and the best person to call may be someone who has lived through something difficult themselves. Privacy vs. Processing. They discuss when to keep marriage problems private, when to seek support, and why you should build a circle of trust before a crisis. When a marriage ends, should people keep it private or talk about it? Tell us in the comments. “Divorce is not easy.” “If you only involve me in the good times, then I don’t feel like we’re really friends.” “People’s only real metric for marriage success is how long you stay in it.” Content Note: This episode includes strong language and discussions of divorce, marriage conflict, emotional distress, children, and relationships.

    Did Nikole Hannah-Jones Choose Wrong for Her Daughter? | Episode 87

    Nikole Hannah-Jones sent her daughter to a segregated, high-poverty Brooklyn school to live her values. A decade later, her daughter is the one asking why. The Triple Cs do not agree on the answer to Black parents’ school choice. A viral New York Times Magazine essay set Black parents' group chats on fire this month, "In Fighting for Every Black Child, Did I Betray My Own?" Dr. Marjorie is frustrated by what reads to her as a "me, me, me" approach to change. Dr. Michael says people are angry at the wrong target, and that the real problem is a system that treats "Black," "low income," and "low performing" as the same thing. From there the conversation moves through the forces behind school segregation in America, social reproduction theory, the myth of meritocracy, critical race theory, and New York City's admissions gauntlet, where Stuyvesant High School made offers to just three Black students out of 777 this year. Along the way: Colin Kaepernick's scoreboard argument, Dolly Parton's imagination library, and whether a teenager has the right to ask her parents why they chose a worse school. Dr. Marjorie's answer: absolutely. Inside the Episode: The Essay Everyone's Talking About. Hannah-Jones and her husband deliberately enrolled their daughter in an under-resourced, segregated Brooklyn school. A decade later her daughter wants to know why her parents had the money for one of the city's best schools and chose not to use it. Two Readings of the Same Choice. Dr. Marjorie reads the essay through the history of integration and civil rights era children sent into hostile schools as barrier breakers. Dr. Michael reads it as a lie affluent parents tell themselves: that money, time, and social capital can protect one child and lift a whole school at the same time. Black Is Not a Synonym for Low Performing. Dr. Marjorie wishes the essay had separated "Black," "low income," and "low performing," because the real drivers are disinvestment, novice teachers, and businesses leaving the neighborhood. The Faustian Bargain. Both Hannah-Jones and her husband benefited from schools outside their own communities growing up, yet believed tutoring could close the gap for their daughter. Dr. Michael names the deal Black parents face once they "make it": stay in the community, or become the exception. Three Out of 777. Dr. Marjorie walks through the NYC school admissions maze, which starts at pre-k and runs through tests, interviews, and essays for middle and high school. Stuyvesant's offers to Black students hit a new low this year. Content Note: Frequent strong language, including the N-word used in conversation and racial slurs voiced while mocking opponents of admissions reform, plus references to lynching, the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, and systemic racism.

    AI Researcher Resigns, Claims AI Extinction Risk | Episode 86

    An AI researcher at Anthropic resigned this month and told the internet that the people building this technology believe it could kill us all by the end of the decade. The industry keeps building anyway. In Episode 86, Dr. Michael Steven Williams and Dr. Marjorie Dorimé Williams take on three questions: what it means when the people building AI are the ones sounding the alarm, what is really being sold to our kids and schools under AI in the classroom, and what trade-offs got us here. They are honest that they use AI tools themselves, including to produce this show, while arguing that current practice is far from responsible. They move from a whistleblower's warning to the classroom, covering who actually pays the cost of AI, why regulators in New York City and Los Angeles just hit pause on it in schools, and the older habits, like SparkNotes and Columbia House, that explain why we keep taking the convenience even when we know the catch. If you are a parent thinking about parenting and technology, an educator figuring out AI policy at school, or someone who uses these tools and still feels uneasy about what AI is doing to how we think, this episode is for you. Inside the Episode: The Resignation Heard Around the Internet. Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic and posted a thread saying the people building AI believe it could kill us all by the end of the decade. AI as a Sorting Machine. AI benefits people who already have education, infrastructure, and money, while the costs, like the data centers going up in Missouri, land somewhere else. "My drinking water is not going to be compromised by the data center that gets put in your neighborhood." The AI Snuck Out the Window. The Hugging Face incident, in which AI models under testing took unsanctioned real-world actions, becomes "the AI is a rebellious teenager." It's Dangerous, So Let's Give It to the Kids. Dr. Marjorie names her strong misgivings about pumping schools full of AI and ed tech, and points out that the tech elite keep screens away from their own kids while other children's classrooms fill up with them. The Greatest Harm: Forgetting How to Think. "People are failing to learn how to think." The hosts explain why outsourcing to chatbots undermines deep thought, and defend teaching as a trained profession under attack. NYC and LA Hit Pause. The hosts cheer New York City's and Los Angeles's moves to restrict student AI use and screen-time in younger grades. Their argument: ethical and moral education should come before use, so students have enough foundation to know when the tool is wrong. Your Brain on ChatGPT. The MIT Media Lab study, on what researchers are calling cognitive debt, gets a callback to the old "this is your brain on drugs" ads, and the hosts note that even people who want to opt out of AI cannot really do it anymore. Content Note: Strong language throughout, including racial slurs used in conversation; brief references to suicide, child predation on gaming platforms, the Epstein files, and war in Gaza.

    Black Women Have Nine Degrees and Still No Paycheck | Episode 85

    9 degrees & no steady income. Black women in the economy, the no-eye-contact doctor, & why sponsorship beats mentorship. This week, Dr. Marjorie Dorimé-Williams and Dr. Michael Steven Williams spend the full hour centering Black women. A thread went viral this month: a group of Black women, nine degrees between them, and not a single steady paycheck. The replies split down the middle. Half said discrimination. Half said they chose the wrong majors. The Triple C's decided that was reason enough to spend a full hour on it. They do not resolve it neatly. Inside the Episode: Nine Degrees, No Paycheck. A viral thread and a split comment section: discrimination or "you chose wrong." Marjorie and Michael use it to open a wider conversation about credentials that were supposed to be protection and weren't. "This is a great time for us to center Black women." The Doctor Who Wouldn't Look Up. Months of hip and leg pain. An appointment that took longer to check in than to sit through. No eye contact, no exam, no X-ray, just "maybe next time." Then the harder question from Michael. Why didn't you say anything? "Why didn't I speak up? Because normally, I am someone who speaks up." First Fired, Hardest Rehired. Disproportionate federal layoffs, the rhetoric of merit, and Michael Sandel's hubris-and-humiliation problem: the more you have, the more you believe you earned it, and the more everyone else believes they earned not having it. "Black people are the crash test dummies for the American experiment." Mentorship Isn't Sponsorship. The distinction that reframes the whole back half: mentorship advises privately, sponsorship advocates publicly, and Black women get far more of the first. Marjorie names who actually sponsored her, and the two red flags she checks before taking any job. "That's not putting a check in my pocket." "Black people are the crash test dummies for the American experiment.""Why didn't I speak up? Because normally, I am someone who speaks up.""Mentorship advises privately, and sponsorship advocates publicly.""If I see D9 on your resume, I'm gonna stand on the table for you.""You just need people who want to see you win." PnP is a co-parenting podcast and Black parenting podcast, sharing real co parenting tips, honest talk on co parenting after divorce, and a co-parenting vlog feel, even on episodes like this one. Content Note: Discussion of medical dismissal, chronic pain, racial & gender discrimination, the recent death of Professor Jason Arday, hate groups, political violence, and strong language.

    Back-to-School Spending, the Tuskegee Dress Code, and What We Expect of Our Kids Before They Leave Our House

    Tuskegee dress code. Black back-to-school spending. Respectability politics. Two PhD professors finally weigh in — and they don't agree. A new poll found Black parents expect to spend $447 per child on clothes and shoes this back-to-school season — nearly double what white parents spend. Dr. Marjorie opens with a simple question: what's happening there? This is the annual back-to-school episode. The Triple Cs trace that number to its roots: the church suit there was always money for, the first-day fit picked out weeks in advance, the impeccably dressed Black revolutionaries, and the argument that what looks like Black consumerism is partly an overcorrection for generations of not being allowed to own anything. Then they take on the Tuskegee University dress code controversy. Marjorie read all three policies front to back and supports all three. Michael doesn't oppose standards but won't back a policy with that much room for interpretation. "What is this policy solving, and who are you performing for?" They don't resolve it. That's the episode. Inside the Episode: The $447 Question. Black parents spending double on back-to-school clothes isn't vanity — it's the church suit, the Easter suit, the first-day fit. "There was always money to get me a suit for church. Always money for first day of school clothes." Respectability Politics, Properly Defined. Marjorie credits Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham for first articulating it: the idea that marginalized groups are told better treatment requires looking and presenting better. Michael extends it past clothes — to whether you get to feel your emotions, express displeasure, or talk back to police. "We are not protected by assimilation. Even in the best tailored suit, I'm still Black." The Tuskegee Dress Code: What It Actually Says. Marjorie read it — all of it, not the 120-character version. "People read 120 characters and think that's the whole thing." She supports the dress code, attendance policy, and cell phone policy. Michael asks the harder question: who does enforcement with that much interpretive latitude actually protect? HBCUs Are Being Forced to Re-Parent Kids. The recognition that closes the argument — and the closest thing to common ground. "I want you to behave well, but I want you to get there in the right ways." Quotes: "Black parents are expected to spend almost $447 per child just on clothes and shoes. It's double what white parents spend.""We are not protected by assimilation. Even if I'm in the best tailored suit, I'm still Black.""People read 120 characters and think that's the whole thing.""What is this policy solving, and who are you performing for?""What matters is helping to prepare them to be young adults in the world that they occupy today."Content Note: Strong language throughout. Discusses respectability politics, anti-Black racism, hair discrimination, and federal policy affecting Black enrollment.

    What Type of Co-Parents Are We? 9 Years In and We Still Can't Agree | Episode 83

    Co-Parenting After Divorce: What Type Are You? 9 Years In and We Still Can't Agree | Episode 83 Co-parenting after divorce. Nine years. Two households. Two kids almost in college: one remarriage, one new baby, one long-distance relationship, a business, and a podcast. And one question they still cannot answer: are they perfect pals or cooperative colleagues? In Episode 83, Dr. Marjorie and Michael pull back the curtain on a conversation that is happening right now. Not a resolved lesson. A live negotiation recorded in real time. The spine is Constance Ahrons' five post-divorce co-parenting relationship types — perfect pals, cooperative colleagues, angry associates, fiery foes, and dissolved duos. Michael says he has been building toward perfect pals the whole time. Marjorie says somewhere between perfect pals and cooperative colleagues is fine. That gap explains almost every friction point they have had. They get into co-parenting communication, invisible sacrifice, boundary ambiguity, and the part nobody talks about: what happens to the friendship when the co-parenting changes? Nobody wins this one. They agree to come back to it. Part one of two. Content Note: Strong language throughout—candid discussion of divorce, financial strain, and resentment. Inside the Episode: The Five Co-Parenting Relationship Types. Perfect pals, cooperative colleagues, angry associates, fiery foes, dissolved duos. Two professors turn Constance Ahrons' framework into a grading rubric — and immediately disagree about which one they are. Is Friendship a Prerequisite for Good Co-Parenting? If they were not friends, could they still co-parent well? Michael says yes, but the choices would be completely different. The question that opens everything up. Co-Parenting Communication or a Task List? What it feels like when every message from your co-parent is an order. "I don't want the only engagement to be you sending me orders to do something." The most vulnerable stretch of the episode. Silent Sacrifice and Co-Parenting Resentment. The most consequential admission in the episode. A lack of communication and silent sacrifice were consistent issues in the divorce. "That's just a recipe for resentment, and it's a recipe for bad behavior." Boundary Ambiguity After Divorce. Pauline Boss' concept finally gives a name to a relationship that is friendly, professional, and parental all at once. Nobody is sure who is in what role. Friends or Co-Parents or Both? Michael does not do business with people he does not consider friends. Marjorie's counter: you can have an excellent co-parenting relationship without being friends, and that is an A-plus for those people. The Most Important Thing Is to Not Quit. The through-line back to the beginning. The same decision not to quit on the kids applies to this conversation. A follow-up episode is coming. "Every time you think you have a system that works, you gotta revisit it." "Good relationships are maintained on purpose."  "I don't want the sacrifices to be invisible and I don't want them to add up to something that leads to resentment." "Don't tell yourself not to communicate with me because that's not what I'm asking for." "Nine years in and we clearly have not solved this Rubik's cube." "And recognition that there's no such thing as solving it."

    Is It More Dangerous to Be a Black Child in 2026 Than It Was in the 90s?

    Black child safety. Black children in white spaces. Raising Black kids in America in 2026. This is the conversation the Nolan Wells case forced every Black parent to have. Dr. Marjorie and Michael are not speculating about the case. They are having the conversation underneath it. You did everything right. The degrees. The job. The house in the good school district. And then you look up at the open house & your kid is the only one. This episode is about the choices Black families make about where to live, who their kids get to be around, and who carries the worry that comes with it.The hosts honestly disagree about whether it is more dangerous to be a Black child in 2026 than it was in the 90s. They do not resolve it. That is the point. Kimberly Seals Allers' model: after having the talk, she called the friend's mother. Named her fears. Said what she would need to know before saying yes. Allyship as a phone call, not a caption. The friends are not the risk. The spaces are. The worry is shareable. Inside the Episode:The Myth of Meritocracy. Do everything right and the reward is often being the only one. "It was the American dream and right now it's feeling more like a nightmare. So I want a refund."The Nolan Wells Conversation. Not the case. The conversation it forced. "Me rising through the ranks according to the rules of a racist society is me still putting my offspring at risk."Black Child White Spaces. One child's friend group is "the UN of people." The other is white, white, white, white. "When we go to soccer tournaments, I don't have to look hard for my child."Is It More Dangerous Now? "Black children walk down the street in broad daylight and because they're Black, they're attacked. It is escalating." Michael: "It's always been open season." They do not agree.I Was Nolan Wells. "I was the Black kid going on the road trip with the white family to the Poconos. I still have scars on my knees to this day."An Invitation to Care. Kimberly Seals Allers called the friend's mother after the talk. "I didn't even know you could do that." The family friend's reply: "Bet, we got you."I Don't Have to Worry Alone. Marjorie remembers her son near age two, around when Trayvon Martin was killed. "I don't have to worry alone. It will be a shared concern.""You do everything right & you're still the only one.""The problem is not them. It's the people they're going to encounter.""I was Nolan Wells. I was the Black kid on the road trip with the white family.""The thing I liked most was that it was an invitation to care." "I don't have to worry alone."Follow Us on InstagramPnP Podcast: / parentsandprofessorspodDr. Michael Steven Williams: / drmikewillDr. Marjorie Dorime Williams: / drminimarj#ParentsAndProfessors #PnPPodcast #BlackChildSafety #RaisingBlackKids #BlackChildWhiteSpaces #NolanWells #BlackParenting #RacialSocialization #BlackChildrenInAmerica #CoParenting #ParentingPodcast2026

    The Grade App Is Your Instagram: What a Viral TED Talk on Overparenting Gets Right and Whose Childhood It Forgets

    What starts as parenting advice becomes a much bigger conversation about race, education, self worth, and the pressure parents carry. In Episode 80, Dr. Marjorie and Michael react to Julie Lythcott-Haims' viral TED Talk on overparenting. They agree with its core message: let kids build independence through real responsibility, stop measuring love by achievement, and stop turning childhood into a checklist. But they also ask the question the TED Talk never does: Whose kids actually get to be free wildflowers? For Black families, unconditional love also means preparing children for a world that often expects them to fail. Academic success is not a guarantee of safety, but it can be a buffer. The conversation explores why universal parenting advice often overlooks very different realities. The discussion then turns to college admissions, anti-DEI rhetoric, and the growing message that "college is not for everybody." The hosts examine who is giving that advice and whether they follow it themselves. Michael also argues that today's grade portals have become social media for parenting anxiety. Every notification becomes another reminder that a child's performance is being used as a measure of their parents' success. Marjorie pushes back, defending formative assessment, leading to one of the episode's most thoughtful disagreements. The conversation ends with practical parenting advice about boredom, chores, independence, and building genuine self efficacy instead of creating a checklist childhood. • Whose Kids Get to Be Free Wildflowers?• Helicopter Parenting vs Free Range Parenting• Why Unconditional Love Looks Different for Black Families• The Truth About College Is Not for Everybody• The Grade App Is Your Instagram• Formative Assessment vs Surveillance• Why Chores, Boredom, and Independence Matter• Building Self Efficacy Instead of Parenting Anxiety "Whose kids get to be free wildflowers?" "Make your kids do chores and love them unconditionally." "To unconditionally love my kids is also to prepare them for a society that expects them to fail." "The product is not the kid. The product is the parent." "It is social media for your parenting." "It is a standard I do not want to hold myself to, and so to hold my children to it is ridiculous."
