AbstractParadigms of the “typical” Black family have reached a long way over the decades. While the Hip-Hop media have painted images of the headstrong, independent Black woman, popular television series like the Cosby Show and Fresh Prince of Bel-Air highlighted an entirely different world of the well-to-do, married Black family. The Obama family has ultimately achieved a blending of two American ideals: the traditional, married couple bearing two children with the height of personal, professional success for both parents. First Lady Michelle Obama—an educated, successful, fashionable mother who wants the best for her children and American children as a whole—now internationally represents the archetypal American woman.
We see now that a Black mom doesn’t need to be a forever-single pop star to exude her strength and self-confidence; nor does she need to be a married homemaker with two children to be accepted into mainstream society. More and more Black moms—and Americans mothers in general—are balancing motherhood with careers, and meaningful (married or unmarried) relationships that may not always be conventional.
