Actress Malin Akerman (Watchmen, Couples Retreat, Billions) and Dr. Marika Lindholm (ESME.com founder) share their personal experiences as single mothers and ways in which we can support single parent caregivers, including, but not limited to military moms, single moms, divorced moms, and widowed moms. After all, 22 million American children are raised by single mothers today.
The Rumpus
The morning of my Skype interview with Dr. Marika Lindholm, founder and director of ESME (Empowering Solo Moms Everywhere), I didn’t wear makeup. Lindholm is the woman responsible for producing ESME’s anthology, We Got This: Solo Mom Stories of Grit, Heart, and Humor. The stories and poetry of solo moms in this anthology encouraged me to be my authentic, everyday self for the interview, so I showed up bare-faced to the interview. When I told this to Marika—who wasn’t wearing makeup, either—she smiled.
The Women’s Eye
There is nothing average about Dr. Marika Lindholm, a sociologist, professor, and writer. Because she lived the life-changing experience of being a single mom, Marika is using that experience and academics to become an outspoken advocate for solo moms. In 2015, Marika started a social movement, Empowering Solo Moms Everywhere, with ESME.com.
