Marie Roker-Jones of Raising Great Men is on our show tonight live at 9 p.m. Eastern/6 p.m. Pacific.

Here is a little about Marie …

“I am married and the mom of two boys. Instead of Two and a Half Men, I’m living with One and 3/4 Men. (I’m bad at math). I like to think of myself as the black Liz Lemon (30 Rock). I’m nerdy, quirky and funny in my own mind. Thankfully, I have a teenage son to remind me I’m not that funny or cool. Growing up, I hung out with my brother and his friends and thankfully learned a lot about boys and men. As the D.W. in my brother’s life (for my Arthur fans), I began to realize that boys are deceptively simple.

I chose to start Raising Great Men a little over a year ago for two reasons: 1) I wanted to help other moms of boys navigate the challenges of raising boys and 2) I didn’t want my sons to grow and be like some of the guys my friends and I dated. I also wanted to share my experience as a woman who has been around boys and men for over 30 years. ( That may sound dirty unintentionally).

I am a guy’s girl. I enjoy watching sports and instead of chick flicks, I like Judd Apatow and Adam Sandler movies (Don’t judge me). I am a flawed Christian and a work in progress (but who isn’t?).

Anyway, I’m not just some random mom, below is my professional bio:
