Show notes

In this episode, we sit down with actress, artist, and real-life supermom Karen Pittman–whose role as Dawn Edwards in Netflix’s “Forever” had us feeling seen like never before. We hear about Karen’s path from opera to acting, raising two kids as a single mom, and why she waited 14 years to let love back in. Keke’s own mama, Sharon also joins the conversation for a powerful, three-generational discussion about Black motherhood, identity, and everything that “Forever” gets so right. Keke also reflects on how becoming a mom to Leo reshaped how she sees her own childhood and the quiet power of witnessing your kids as they grow. Because if there’s one thing we know: the mama is the one. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll definitely call your mama after this one.Get the Saks designer brands you love, delivered just like that.
