Dear Mom: Wait That’s Me!

“Dear Mom, Wait That’s Me!” Is a collection of essays, prose, and poems from the perspective of a black mother’s experiences while parenting in today’s society. It journeys her awareness and release of the holds society, family, TV, social media, and her religion had on her. She discovers that all her children are different and shouldn’t be parented the same. The stories in the book take place over 23 years of parenting seven children, 4 of which she birthed. The story doesn’t particularly have an end as she is still parenting and evolving. It is written as an expression of her liberation and to hopefully inspire other mothers to explore the freedoms that can be experienced in their parenting.
