    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."

    Am I a Bad Mom? Dr. Gina Garcia on the Truth About Parenting Guilt and the Failure Myth.

    What starts as a simple question—is parenting an identity, a responsibility, or both?—turns into one of the most honest conversations we've ever had. Dr. Marjorie Dorimé-Williams shares how divorce reshaped her fear of being seen as "a stereotypical single Black mom." Dr. Michael Steven Williams unpacks stereotype threat for Black fathers and explains why he would never take a six-week break from parenting his children. And our first-ever guest, Dr. Gina Ann Garcia, opens up about raising two Black sons as a Latina mother and the intentional work of building a racial identity she cannot fully model herself. If you're parenting across racial, cultural, or family lines—or you've ever wondered whether admitting parenting is hard somehow makes you a bad parent—this episode is for you. Inside this episode:• Every Parent Needs a Six-Week Break? Gina says yes. Michael immediately disagrees.• Is parenting an identity, a responsibility, or both?• Scholar Mom identity and parenting with purpose.• Healthy respect vs. fear-based parenting.• Divorce and the "single Black mom" stereotype.• Stereotype threat and the absent Black father myth.• Raising Black boys as a Latina mom.• Why Gina and Michael say, "We have Black boys."• Raising racially aware children through intentional parenting.• The parenting failure myth.• Honest conversations about parenting guilt.• Why kids benefit from seeing healthy disagreement between parents.• What parents choose to shield their children from. Memorable Quotes"Every parent needs a six-week break. I'm putting it on record." — Dr. Gina Ann Garcia "I'm not a Black man. That's really, really hard, and a lot of pressure." — Dr. Gina Ann Garcia "I say I have Black boys, because that in America means something." — Dr. Gina Ann Garcia "It's okay for you to hear how we agree, disagree, navigate, and evolve." — Dr. Michael Steven Williams "Sometimes I don't have it, and I think you're not kind of allowed to say that." — Dr. Marjorie Dorimé-Williams Chapters00:04 Every Parent Needs a Six-Week Break01:24 Introducing Dr. Gina Ann Garcia05:00 Parenting: Identity or Responsibility?06:24 Scholar Mom Identity08:52 Healthy Respect vs. Fear-Based Parenting10:04 Rethinking Fatherhood & Co-Parenting11:03 Divorce and the Single Black Mom Stereotype13:19 Stereotype Threat for Black Fathers17:58 Raising Black Boys as a Latina Mom20:01 Raising Racially Aware Kids21:58 Modelling Racial Identity24:46 Haitian & Black American Identity28:15 The Parenting Failure Narrative36:01 Gina's Parenting Confession39:14 Culture, Language & Family47:54 What We Shield Our Kids From52:00 Breaking Generational Silence53:50 Healthy Conflict in Co-Parenting59:21 The Honesty Round1:01:32 I Wish I Had More Kids1:03:01 What We'd Do Differently Follow us on InstagramParents & Professors Podcast: @parentsandprofessorspodDr. Michael Steven Williams: @drmikewillDr. Marjorie Dorimé-Williams: @drminimarj GuestDr. Gina Ann Garciaginaanngarcia.comUC Berkeley Faculty: bse.berkeley.edu/gina-garcia #ParentsAndProfessors #PnPPodcast #DrGinaGarcia #RaisingBlackBoys #LatinaMom #ScholarMom #BlackFatherhood #InterracialParenting #ParentingGuilt #CoParenting #BlackParenting

    Emma Grede’s "Three-Hour Mom." Here's What She's Not Telling You. | Episode 78

    A British CEO worth a reported nine figures told the Wall Street Journal she's a "max three-hour mom" on weekends. A "high-impact, core memory" parent who opts out of what she calls over-parenting. Black women online had thoughts. So do we.This is not about mom guilt or work-life balance. It is about class privilege and who actually has the resources to opt out without consequence.In Part 1 of our new series on parenting, perception, and privilege, Dr. Marjorie & Dr. Michael Steven Williams dig into Emma Grede's three-hour mom conversation. And the part that keeps getting left out. The nannies. The chef. The cleaners. The chief of staff. Marjorie names her own bias up front, gets honest about being "the broke sibling" raising kids without that kind of help, and asks what it really means for a working mom to advise other women to opt out when you have an entire team holding everything down.Along the way, they get into why "over-parenting" might be the wrong frame, the everyday small moments that actually become core memories, handmade Father's Day notebooks included, the stubborn gender gap in housework and caregiving, the absence of fatherhood from the whole conversation, the birthday party arms race, and a closing gut check.If you have ever felt judged as a single mom or a working parent for what you cannot provide, or side-eyed advice from someone with a very different bank account, this one is for you. New series. Same Triple Cs.Inside the Episode:You Have an Entire Army Helping You. Marjorie concedes the principle, then names what every headline left out about class privilege and parenting.Naming My Bias Before I Judge. Marjorie models intellectual honesty, admitting her own bias out loud before critiquing Grede's comments. A rare, good-faith way to disagree.Rich People Resources to Do Rich People Things. The core critique in one beat. The nannies, the chef, and the chief of staff behind the ability to "opt out."I'm the Broke Sibling. Marjorie gets personal about being the single mom watching her siblings with full households of help, and what that gap in resources actually feels like day to day.The Father's Day Notebook. Michael chokes up over a handmade notebook of everyday memories. The emotional heart of the argument that it really is the little things, not mom guilt over missing the big ones.Where's the Dad in This Conversation? The fatherhood blind spot. If a man said he spent three hours with his kids on the weekend, nobody would say a word. A real look at the double standard in working parent culture.If I Were Rich, I'd Parent More. Michael's honest reversal. He would buy his way into more time with his kids, not less.Women Do Twice the Housework, and Get Socialized Into It. The toy kitchen. The toy vacuum. The second shift. Where the gap in domestic labor actually starts.Don't Be Poor, Plus the Marjorie Freedom Fund. The lesson America keeps teaching parents, said out loud.What Privilege Would You Lose Tomorrow? The episode's closing question. Jack and Jill, showing up at school, a driver for the kids. Drop your answer below."You have an entire army helping you raise these kids." "Rich people resources to do rich people things, like opt out of parenting.""None of that is big things. It's all little, everyday." "If I were rich, I would spend way more time with my kids.""The lesson in America is don't be poor.""Parenting is work.""You can't put a clock on parenting.""Which parenting choice in your life is actually a privilege you'd lose if your resources changed tomorrow?"Follow Us on InstagramParents and Professors Podcast: / parentsandprofessorspodDr. Michael Steven Williams: / drmikewillDr. Marjorie Dorime Williams: / drminimarj

    Dating After Divorce: My Dating List Two Years Later (And What Changed) | Episode 77

    Dating After Divorce: What I Actually Want in a Partner Two Years Later | Episode 77 Dating after divorce in your 30s or 40s? Two years ago, Marjorie made a list of everything she wanted in a partner. Now she and Michael audit it, and what changed might surprise you.  The list included respect, chemistry, culture, a passport, and even traditional masculine representation. In this retrospective, she and Michael pull that list back out and ask a bigger question: what actually matters, and who have we become since? What starts as a laugh at a younger self turns into one of the most honest conversations on the pod. This is a relationship audit after divorce, not just what changed on the list, but what changed in them. If you are dating after divorce in your 30s or 40s, trying to figure out what you are actually looking for in a relationship now, or wondering how to date after divorce without repeating the same patterns, this one is for you. Bring your own list. You might cross a few things off. Content Note: Strong language throughout and frank adult discussion of dating, marriage, divorce, and non-traditional relationships.  Inside the Episode: The Dating List, Two Years Later. Marjorie reads her old dating standards after divorce out loud and laughs at her past self. A relatable, vulnerable hook about how our relationship checklist evolves — from surface traits to character, trust, and being truly understood. Trust Cannot Be Microwaved. "You cannot build trust without time; you cannot repair problems without time." The most important thing nobody tells you about building trust after divorce. Time is the non-negotiable ingredient. Dating mindset shift: stop rushing what can only be built slowly. Carol Dweck Enters the Chat. Growth mindset in relationships, applied to dating, not classrooms. How to apply a growth mindset to dating patterns and why people claim growth in one area while staying completely fixed in another. The trap that keeps people repeating the same relationship mistakes after divorce. Fixed Mindset Dating Patterns. "We are taught by broader society to exit as soon as things are not perfect." Fixed mindset dating patterns that keep people stuck — and what it looks like to actually evolve instead of exit. Starter Marriage. "Everybody should have a starter marriage, like a starter home." Michael makes the case. Marjorie reframes divorce as something that can end well without being a failure. Starter marriage vs first marriage — and why "it was awesome until it ended" is not a failure; it is a fact. The Accountability Red Flag. How to read someone fast by listening to how they talk about their exes. The fastest and most reliable read on character in dating after divorce.  Managing the Good Times. The relationship skill nobody talks about — not how to survive the hard times, but how to manage the good ones. Contentment as a choice. The "never satisfied" person always chasing the next thing versus choosing to say "this is enough." What We Tell Our Teenagers About Love. Communication, trust, patience, self-respect, and "you need a broader village." What healthy healing after divorce actually models for the next generation. Dating advice for teenagers, lived, not lectured. 📱 Follow Us on Instagram Parents and Professors Podcast: / parentsandprofessorspod Dr. Michael Steven Williams: / drmikewill Dr. Marjorie Dorime-Williams: / drminimarj #ParentsAndProfessors #PnPPodcast #DatingAfterDivorce #GrowthMindsetRelationships #StarterMarriage #HealingAfterDivorce #RelationshipAdvice #WhatIWantInAPartner #CarolDweck #ReframingDivorce #DatingAfterDivorceIn40s #RelationshipPodcast2026
