Mother's Day

“Mother”

A right that I have been fighting for over the past two years.

I have been called unfit. I have been told that I am replaceable in my son's life, that a father and grandmother duo can replace me.

I’ve had false allegations against me in which I’ve had to tirelessly defend. I’ve had to defend my culture, my roots from elitist energies, a friendly reminder to all a mother is more than her skin color, her last name, and the country she was born in.

Attempts have also been made to use my life’s work, my business website and instagram against me to create a false narrative and the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on.

What did I do you ask to deserve this? I simply one day got real honest in life and I chose to walk away from an extremely toxic marriage and after that decision was made a war began as an attempt to let’s be real here break me as a person.

What does it mean to be a mother for me?

It means fighting for what’s right even when I feel like I can’t fight anymore. It means transmuting so much negativity that is being thrown my way. It means shielding my most precious gift from what really is going on in his family.

Ever since my son was born I have lived for him. Every decision I’ve made has been for him. I know I am a wonderful mother, this judicial process although questioning my capabilities left and right has in fact reiterated and proven what I already know. That I am a force to be reckoned with, that I will face every fear that is showing up for me during this journey. This journey through hell as I’ve called it has shown me strengths that I didn’t even know I had.

To the mothers who are silently fighting this fight, you are not alone. To the mothers who every day put their best foot forward and smile when at night all you do is cry, you are not alone.

I SEE YOU and I see the pain you are enduring.  No, it’s not right and it’s not fair but we will get through this. STAY IN YOUR POWER and never doubt yourself or your capabilities as a mother. To quote Maya Angelou “ A mother’s love is liberating”  Remember you are not replaceable and your children need your love and protection.

A very tender and loving Mother’s Day to my warrior mamas 💝

We got this! 🙏
