Welcome to this week’s episode of Quimby Qronicles: Mama Math—where we break down the everyday equations Black moms solve just to keep things afloat.

We’re talking money math (like how you feed a family on one income), time math (how the hell we’re expected to be everywhere at once), and energy math (spoiler: we always come up short).

We’re done glamorizing the grind. Let’s talk about what it really takes to make a life work when you’re mothering, managing, and trying not to lose yourself in the shuffle.

Listen in, laugh with us, and tag a mama who’s been doing too much with too little for too long.
