We are three black women who are in suburbia.

And the reason why they didn't speak to us is because they equate suburbia with white.

And so if they see me, they automatically say, you're urban.

Like, I'm sweetie, no, I'm not. I live in the suburbs.

We've got to address the suburban women problem because it's real.

Welcome to the suburban women problem, a podcast for red, wine, and blue.

Hi, everyone. Thanks for listening. I'm Amanda Weinstein. I'm Jasmine Clark. I'm Rachel Vindman.

And you're listening to the Suburban Women Problem. Thanks for joining us. Today's episode is a little

different than usual, and we have Katie Paris here with us to tell us about it. Katie, welcome back to the show.

It's so good to be here, you guys. I am really excited to introduce the conversation I was so lucky to have just a few days ago

with three suburban moms from Virginia. And the reason why we did this is because in the media,

when you hear those words suburban moms, now you guys probably hear it differently than a lot of reporters do. But I mean,

basically, suburban mom in the mainstream media has become a euphemism for white suburban mom.

True. And what we all know is that the suburbs have always been more diverse than that,

but increasingly are much, much more diverse than that.

Northern Virginia is actually one of the fastest growing, most quickly diversifying suburban

areas in the entire country. But yet, when it came to the coverage after the Virginia election

was all sudden done, in particular, and people were looking back at the role that suburban women,

suburban moms in particular played in the race, you couldn't find a voice heard anywhere.

No one was asking a non-white suburban mom how they felt.

I'm really excited to share this conversation with you guys.

Thank you for sharing your platform platform lending the suburban women problems,
