Anna Malaika Tubbs: “I thought about motherhood being unrecognized, uncelebrated and said, ‘I'm gonna do something to change that.’”

Anna Malaika Tubbs is on a mission to change the narrative around the value of a woman’s role as a mother – and of caregivers at large. In this special Mother’s Day episode, we sit down with the writer to discuss her new book, The Three Mothers, which unveils the story of the women who raised three civil rights movement leaders – Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X and James Baldwin. She also tells us about her nomadic childhood moving around the world and how it influenced a deep appreciation for human differences; and predicts the sociological impact of the past year on family life.
