My vision was to create a supportive environment for…

If my sons had their way they would wake up playing video games and fall asleep playing video games. While I usually don’t allow them to have their way, at once-a-day, I indulge them.

Black stay at home moms get asked all kinds of strange questions, but it kinda comes with the territory. When I tell people that I’m a SAHM, the responses I get are unusual. From asking me why I’d want to be around my kids all the time, to telling me I’d do well in a…
