Poverty in America is often framed as a moral or personal failure on the part of those experiencing poverty, who are disproportionately single mothers and women of color. The only way to disrupt the entrenched stigma is to replace it with a new narrative — one authored by single moms and grounded in their agency, resilience, and power.
