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.

I was totally in the moment, shaking away any concerns I had about life, and it was FUN!

I know I'll never know what it's like to dance before millions at the Super Bowl, but I now know that regardless of my age, my marital status, and my motherhood, I am still willing to shake it up every once in awhile. And, I think that we should all be inspired by J.Lo and Shakira. Whether you liked the show or not, they showed us that nothing is off limits for moms. And that is quite inspiring!
