My name is Lee Hawkins. I've been a journalist for over 25 years. On my new

podcast, What Happened in Alabama, I get answers to some of the hardest questions about how things

came to be for many black Americans and the truth that must come before any reconciliation can

happen. I investigate my family history, my upbringing in

Minnesota and my father's painful nightmares about growing up in Alabama. What happened

in Alabama is a new series confronting the cycles of trauma for myself,

my family, and for many black Americans.

Listen now. Hey, don't ask,

Hey, don't ask TIG friends.

TIG was a guest on another podcast recently,

and we wanted to share.

The show is called Pop Culture Moms,

all about what we can learn

from the TV and movie moms we love most.

It's hosted by me, Sabrina Kowlberg,

and my best friend of 20 years Andy Mitchell.

We're self-proclaimed pop culture aficionados,

and now we're putting our knowledge to use. We're exploring the

comedy and tragedy of what parenthood is like in real life. In the episode,

TIG talks to us about processing the death of her mom through her show, One Mississippi,

what it's like to raise twins, and the humor she finds in parenting.
