As result of the overload many black children are not to doing well in school. According to Essences, “providing full time childcare and being a COVID full-time work from home mom is unsustainable.” Latavia Scott, a single black mother of two son is at a breaking point with balancing work, home, and now school. “I work 40 hours plus a week to provide for my family, and sometimes I be tried from working all day long,” stated Latavia Scott.
