HELLO WORLD!

Hello World!

I am a new mom!  Not so unusual in a world of women and humanity. But it is new to me.  I’m usually fairly quiet about my life, unless its some sort of art project or production that I’m in. So I would have never thought that I would be one of those “mom bloggers”.  Then I came home from the hospital with this amazing little baby and a thousand questions about this new world I had walked into.  As the modern homebody that I am, I reached out to the internet looking for some mom’s like me. You know, the average college educated, over 35, Afro-American woman, first-time working mom, inter-racial newlywed.  And what did I find? Whispers of women like me, Vlogs on youtube by women who were a part of interracial couples. Unfortunately, they didn’t really reach out. Perhaps they forgot to make their Vlog private? I don’t know.  

I thought, “Oh My God, gurl! You’ve gone and done it again!” 


I’m standing here on a path less traveled and I am gonna have to make this map while I’m on the journey. So why a blog? Well, here I am 7 weeks into mommy hood and I want to document every minute. And, because while I may be rare, I hope to be a light in the window for someone else, and I hope that others might also reach out as well.  

I'll do my best to post my thoughts, experiences, resources and ideas.  I hope that others find me and share their resources and ideas. Maybe I'll get a youtube channel. Who knows? Its all a blessed journey!

Blessings!
