Me......a MOM!

From the moment I saw those two pink lines on the pregnancy test, I was flooded with a wave of emotions—joy, fear, hope, uncertainty—all crashing at once.

As a 31-year-old first-time Black mom, I quickly learned that motherhood in America comes with a unique set of challenges and truths. It’s beautiful and overwhelming, empowering and exhausting. It’s navigating a system that doesn’t always see us while trying to show up fully for our babies and ourselves.

This space is about that journey—the real, raw, and rewarding moments of becoming and being a mother. The highs, the lows, the unspoken truths, and the unexpected joy.
