Melanated Mom

How many of you know that this mom thing is just a bunch of prayer and trial and error! I mean who really knows what they are doing? This series came to me because I love to tell on myself and I knew there had to be some other moms out there who had a heart to share their struggles and how they were able to make it through those struggles. Today, Danni Rice of the Jussayin Podcast is joining me to walk us through a hard moment in her parenting journey. Just like she is able to look back in retrospect and even find funny moments in tragedy, so will you!

Please go and follow Danni and listen to her podcast as she keeps us up to date about the happenings in these internet streets. Here are all the ways you can link up with Danni

When the rubber meets the road in our motherhood journey, we may be left standing in places that will make us question everything. What will you do in those moments? How will you continue to show up when the life  you thought you would have doesn't pan out? 

Join Nashira Williams and I as she tells her story to get to the other side of happy. My hope is that during this series I can normalize the way we walk out our own journeys. Your journey may not look like mine, but stay the path!

Motherhood is the ultimate sisterhood. Although we may all handle the challenges and hurdles differently I know that sharing our stories, both the good and the not so good, help each of us along the journey. I can't tell you how many times I have heard another mom share a situation they were dealing with and it helped me feel normal again. My advice is to share, share and share some more. You never know who you are helping. I hope this solo episode helps you as you move forward in the motherhood journey.

Hey mamas! If you follow me on social media you know that I have been talking about how to celebrate and maintain a joy filled marriage. I don't know about any of you but marriage has been one of the toughest journeys for me. It has been the one relationship that has taught me the most about who I am and the most about how I need to grow. The only relationship goal your girl has is the goal to stay in my dang relationship.

Join me and the mister as we have a candid conversation about what it feels like 8 years in and what we what to see happen in the future of our marriage. We both realize how imperfectly perfect this journey has been and we want to share some transparent moments in hopes that we can encourage other couples to enjoy marriage to the fullest.

Mama, you know we all need a moment! I have connected with some amazing moms on IG and it is such joy to hear how different moms find ways to take care of themselves. During quarantine those moments have become increasingly hard to get so I am sure we have all had to recreate the wheel a bit. Come hang out as I chat with two moms who are doing life their way. I am getting ready for a Transparent Mommy Moment series and this episode is the perfect one leading up to that.

I have been on a little hiatus and this was the perfect episode to return with. Y'all know I ride hard for kids around here and with the state of the world today we have to figure out how we can correct our education system so that each group is represented equally and fairly. I am sickened by a lot of what I have seen go on in the education system for many Black and Brown children, including my own. I have been blessed to have a lot of moms in this fight for equality with me and four of them are joining me on this episode.
