a mom magazine for the now
In issue six, Mother Tongue discusses the coexistence of seemingly incompatible things - humor and trauma with filmmaker Lulu Wang and author Priyanka Mattoo; rejecting. pregnancy and embracing motherhood with writer Samantha Mann, and attempting to solve the mysteries of self with no real clues to go on with poet Maggie Smith. Revel in the confidence of the Real Housewives with illustrator Jess Rotter and get weird about candidates' wives with Sarah Hutto; talk empathy and non-binary thinking in a post-October 7th reality with Moh Mahdara, Rabbi Sharon Brous, and BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors. Forgo categorization with artist Hayv Kahraman; rally for sisterhood with Salamishah and Scheherazade Tillet; and look to the right and left with Shannon Watts. Try on chore coats and grief with Jessie Gaynor; resist hoarding with Victoria Hely Hutchinson; examine the symmetry of our breasts with Caitlin Scholl; and last, but certainly not least, get lusty about midlife with cover star Miranda July in a sizzling profile written by Hillary Kelly.
And that's just for starters...
