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 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.

By all people, I mean waiters, strangers and even politicians!  

In any event, I have been on a lifelong quest to get VIP treatment. So, I was surprised and amazed that I had never heard about the Chick-Fil-A® "A List Program" until I became a part of the Chick-Fil-A® Blogger Ambassador Program. What I have learned about the program so far has been really impressive.

It can also give you the opportunity to learn about promotional events.

Last night, my family and I were guests of Chick-Fil-A® at the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium. What I learned is that the  Chick-Fil-A operators are not only nice, they also know how to party! In addition to the normal venue activities there was face painting, a photo booth, and a DJ. My kids rocked out so hard that they didn't even want to leave. And they were not alone. All of the kids had a ball.


I'll keep you posted about the next event. Hope to see you there!
