Celebrating Black Maternal Health Week #BMHW25

on
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 was blessed to have three successful births. While I am an attorney, my third delivery highlighted the potential risks that occur when a physician fails to listen to the birthing person. Initially, I chalked it up to the physician involved and limited it to my personal birthing experience. Then, I learned that I was not special.

A Peek Into the Life of a Mommy Blogger: I Might be on Anderson Live

on
Yesterday was an interesting day. Work was fairly typical. After work I responded to an email I received looking for families who might want to get parenting advice from the Supernanny.  I've always liked the show. So, I responded. I'm online so much that I forgot about it as soon as I responded.

Anderson Live is looking for Families


On my drive home I received a call from a producer from Anderson Live. Ironically, the only reason that I answered the call is because I thought it was a friend of mine calling to ask me to hang out when I go to DC for the Inauguration. I was surprised that it was a producer who wanted to interview me for a television show.
 
She asked me why I wanted to speak to the Supernanny. I explained the parenting conflicts that Andre and I sometimes have.  They all stem from a fundamental disagreement about the maturity level of a two year old. Generally, I think that she's only two and still a baby. He thinks that she's just a tiny person and that she is fully capable of understanding everything. 
 
I have to wait to hear from the producer to see whether I'm selected for the show. If I am, I'd like for the Supernanny to weigh in on my conflict with Andre. Also, if you give me questions, I'll try to get your questions answered too!
 
Wish me luck!
