“H***, even the President of the United States – four of them, in fact – were raised by single mothers. Nevertheless, mention that you’re a single mom, and all too many of us still have to cut through a thick, gristly layer of stigma before we’re given our proper due.” –Taraji P. Henson
“Single motherhood is an amazing thing; it’s a blessing.”- Kelly Cutrone

“The only man in my life is my son, and it’s probably going to stay this way for a while…I go to bed wearing a very baggy one-piece cheetah suit, just because it makes my son laugh. My sexy lingerie has been locked in a drawer for a while!” –Sandra Bullock
“The strength of my mother is something I didn’t pay attention to for so long.

I’m creating opportunities for these young people by any means necessary.” – Jacqueline Woodson
