Abstract
There is often a single stereotyped story told of Black single mothers and their children. By reducing these mothers and their children to stereotypes of poor, uneducated, never married, and lacking resources, their humanity is limited. To move beyond this deficit framework, I use autoethnographic methods and poetics to offer counternarratives. As a Black woman who was raised by a Black single mother, I know firsthand the importance of humanizing Black single mothers and their children.
