Welcome to my corner of the internet! I’m excited to share my journey with you as a black woman who is embarking on the remarkable adventure of motherhood for the first time at the age of 38.
My story is a testament to the fact that the path to motherhood is not one-size-fits-all. For many years, I embraced a child-free lifestyle, savoring the freedom and opportunities that it offered. But life has its own way of surprising us, and when I least expected it, the miraculous journey of pregnancy came knocking at my door.
As a woman of color, I recognize that my experiences are shaped by the unique intersections of race, age, and motherhood. My journey encompasses not only the joy and anticipation of welcoming a new life into this world but also the challenges and uncertainties that come with becoming a first-time mother later in life.
Through this blog, I aim to create a supportive and inclusive space where women of all backgrounds can connect, share, and learn from one another’s experiences. Whether you’re a fellow late-in-life mom, someone considering parenthood at an older age, or simply curious about the beauty and complexities of motherhood, you’re welcome here.
Join me as I navigate the uncharted waters of pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood, all while celebrating the strength and resilience of black women over 35. Together, we’ll explore topics like health and wellness during pregnancy, managing expectations, building a support network, and finding the balance between self-care and nurturing our little ones.
My hope is that this blog will not only serve as a platform for my own reflections but also as a source of inspiration, encouragement, and empowerment for others who may be on a similar journey. Motherhood knows no age limit, and every step of this path is a cherished experience that shapes us into the incredible mothers we were meant to be.
Thank you for joining me on this adventure, and I can’t wait to embark on this incredible journey of discovery, love, and transformation with you. Together, we’ll prove that it’s never too late to embrace the beautiful chaos of motherhood and celebrate the power of black women thriving in every season of life.
