Connect What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is the deep, unconditional love and connection I share with my child. Watching him grow, learn, and develop in his own personality while knowing I play a key role in shaping his life is incredibly fulfilling. The little moment like his first smile, hearing him say “I love you,” or seeing him achieve something he worked hard for bring a joy that is unmatched. It’s also rewarding to know that, through all the challenges I am his safe space &source of comfort

What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?

The night before my son was born, I attended a wedding in NJ, arriving home in NY at 2 AM. At 5:45 AM, my water broke, and by 6:45 AM, I was at the hospital. At 10:08 AM on July 9, 2016, he arrived, strong and perfect. At three days old, he lifted his body in a swing, showing his strength. At 18 months, he tried to help his grandmother up after a fall, proving his heart. Now, at 8, he thrives—strong, kind, and, as of Jan 11, 2025 he got baptized in Christ.”

What would you do with $20,000?

“If I won $20,000, I would use $12,000 toward a down payment and closing costs to purchase my own home, creating a stable environment for my son, who suffers from severe allergies. I’d allocate $4,000 to allergy-proofing with HEPA purifiers, hypoallergenic furniture, and air filtration. I’d save $2,000 for financial stability and invest $1,500 into my scrubs business or book marketing. Lastly, I’d give back $500 to charity, ensuring this money betters both our lives and my community.”
