We Got It From Our Moms + Marcie Alvis Walker (Creator of Black Coffee With White Friends)

You sound like your mother.

Is an essential project of a daughter's life trying to understand her mother? On this episode of the podcast — on this week of Mother's Day — we reflect on the lessons we learned from our moms, how we saw them as teens, how we see them now (SPOILER: it's changed). Plus, we are joined by Marcie Alvis Walker in a wide ranging conversation about the power of motherhood — for good and ill — and the generational legacies we carry as daughters who sometimes become mothers.

And, you might have guessed it, an appearance by Karen & Sharon themselves!
