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.

A Peek Into the Life of a Mommy Blogger: I’m a Verizon Wireless Moms Voices Ambassador! #VZWVoices #Mom

I am participating in the Verizon Moms Voices program and have been provided with a wireless device and six months of service in exchange for my honest opinions about the product.  

 There is news. Then there is "I am so excited I can barely contain myself in public" news. I have that kind of news to share. I started out blogging as a way to inform my friends in North Carolina about my life in Pittsburgh. Nobody read the blog unless I told them about it and that was fine with me.

Well something happened on the way to the delivery room. When I became pregnant I decided that I had information to share that would benefit other women and to my great luck, more people actually started to read it. Recently, I have also gained the interest of brands—small and national—who would like to collaborate with me. It’s been an exciting time and it’s given me an opportunity to serve as a trusted filter for my readers.

Recently, Verizon selected me to be a “Verizon Wireless Voices Ambassador”. It’s a cool opportunity because I’ll get to try out a couple Verizon devices and get my technology game up. I’ll also be able to share what I learn with all of you. I will find out what the devices are tomorrow at a Verizon sponsored event. I’ll keep you posted. Until then, take care!

Trust me, while I am excited by this opportunity, all of the opinions that I share will be my honest opinions.
