Shalaia Green

Weeks after the gender reveal of my 3rd child, my fiancé committed suicide. Grief and bankruptcy did not stop me from the joys of motherhoo.

What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Every little milestone brings me so much joy. Having children from 1yr to 11yrs old I am able to experience different stages of motherhood all at once. From first steps, reading independently, to the growing interest and intellectual conversations; it all amazes me. My children and I have been through so much together and to see my leadership expressed through their resilience, wisdom and understanding that's rewarding. They're happy children and always let me know I'm a great mom.

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

There isn't a memory that I will forget. I cherish each and every moment but Having my first born and being overwhelmed with the love I had for this little baby has to be the one to mention. He made me a mama and I never knew how much I could love and want to protect someone until I had him.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would take my children to the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas for a family vacation. A dream come true for them. As a single mama of 3 I work and run a business on the side so our lives are very structured and organized by systems. It would be nice to have a break from that a create vacation memories with my children to cherish forever.
