“It Takes a Woman” offers listeners an emotional journey of tragedy, triumph, and healing as Devon Franklin introduces us to the women who raised him and his two brothers after his father’s untimely death. Affectionately referred to as his “village of love.” Devon celebrates and honors the sacrifices of his mother Paulette, and his five living great aunts. It is a remarkable village of Black women, as experienced through the eyes of a Black man.
Their candid conversation covers everything from marriage death, divorce, regret, and frank advice about dating, sex, and money. At other times, it uncovers old wounds that are still fresh, pain that is still piercing. and a family bond that is unbreakable. There is an African proverb that says it takes a village to raise a child. Devin says it takes a woman.
