Still Trying, Still Growing: A Mama’s Honest Parenting Diary

I always thought motherhood would start making sense once my oldest hit seventeen, but here I am still winging it and hoping nobody notices. Raising three Black boys has taught me more about myself than any job, relationship, or life lesson ever could. I am learning in real time, growing through every mistake, and choosing to rebuild every time life knocks me flat. This is my honest look at parenting while healing, surviving, and trying to shape good men in a world that does not always protect them.

Showing Up When I Don’t Feel Like It

Some weeks, showing up feels heavier than others. Grief doesn’t follow a schedule — it creeps in when it wants, lingers longer than you expect, and makes simple things feel impossible. This week, I didn’t feel like writing. I didn’t feel like doing much of anything. But I showed up anyway. Not perfectly. Not boldly. Just… honestly. I wrote a new blog post about what it means to keep going when you don’t feel strong. When you’re tired, but still trying. If you’ve been carrying loss, fatigue, or anything that feels too big for words — this one’s for you. You’re not alone.
