I’m assuming it’s similar to motherhood for everyone else with a different descriptor.

As a black man I would love to see TED address the crisis of single mother homes in my community. Black mothers should be celebrated for all the amazing things they do but having babies with men who have no intention of raising the child is a major problem and the the women who engage in this behavior are at least partially responsible for this epidemic of fatherless homes.

Thank you, this video reinforced how important and essential Black women and all women are in the world past and present. The mistreatment of women has been detrimental to our society for centuries. I hope we can get it right.
