Exploring The Challenges of African American/Black Single Moms in Corporate
Introduction
The problem of single parenting in the US has been constant for decades, especially
among Black families. Furthermore, the number of these black families has constantly
increased since the nineteenth century due to prevailing factors such as divorce, death, and
