In the new issue of Ebony Magazine Jill Scott says raising a child alone is nearly impossible...
Jill tells Ebony Mag,
“That I-can-do-it-by-myself mentality is a lie. I’m sorry if I hurt anybody’s feelings, but you cannot do it all by yourself. You need a village: some aunties, grandmoms, friends. I couldn’t do this by myself and would be a fool to think I could.”And on raising a boy
“It’s challenging being a single mom ... No matter what I do, I’ll never be a man. Ever. I can show Jett how to be a thinker, how to enjoy music or how to feel, and to conquer. But I cannot show him how to be a man.”
