What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part is watching my daughter experience a love I once prayed for. Holding her feels like healing in real time. Every smile reminds me that I’m doing something right. I get to give her a life full of love, stability, and opportunities I’m still working hard to build—and that means everything to me.

What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?

Motherhood taught me that I am stronger than anything I’ve been through. I’ve learned how to keep going even when I’m tired, emotional, or overwhelmed. It taught me patience, faith, and how to turn pain into purpose. I’m not just surviving anymore—I’m growing, healing, and becoming the woman my daughter will look up to.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use it to get stable housing for me and my daughter, pay off my current balance so I can stay in school at LSU, and catch up on essentials. I’d also set aside money for childcare and transportation so I can keep working and finishing my degree. This would give me the stability I need to build a real future for us—not just survive, but finally get ahead.
