Mother. Woman. Ally.

My journey unlearning and uncovering myself to become a better mother, woman, and an active ally in the fight against inequity and racism.

The intent of this blog is to uplift AND educate. Entertain AND encourage.

My stories of motherhood and womanhood—I hope you see yourself in these stories. I hope they are relatable, forgiving, funny (who am I kidding?!), and allow us to give ourselves grace more often.

Sharing about inequity and racism is meant to challenge and encourage all of us to read more, LISTEN more, unlearn and learn more, and do better.

Love & Light

I am not most people.

Why am I here?

Why am I here? What do I want to say? What do I have to say? Is it important? Does anybody care? Who am I to talk about these things? I am still learning. I’m not an expert.

These are the thoughts that race through my mind every time I sit down to write a new blog. This is so new to me. It is vulnerable, and I don’t feel good enough. But then again, this was supposed to be just for me. So, what am I worried about?

My Ego Took Over Today.

Instead of just letting the 3-year-old wear the pyjamas (like really, who was it going to hurt?), I told him that if he wears his pj’s today, he will not get to wear them next week when all his friends will be wearing them. “They will all be having fun in their pj’s with their stuffies, and you will just be in your regular clothes.” What a way to make a kid feel like sh*t.
