Celebrating Black Maternal Health Week #BMHW25

Mom and three kids Greetings from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! Things have been busy. I am still a working mom of three, working full time who is trying to make a difference. I do a lot of things and try to be present so that I can learn from them. I share them on this blog so that we can learn together. Below are some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world. Black Maternal Health Week April 11-17, 2025 I am a Black mom to three wonderful children.

I also have had some tea, watched "Meet the Press" and have tried to figure out how to surpass 1000 followers on Twitter. (If you're interested in helped me achieve that goal, follow: @chatonsworld). I could really use the help!
