What A New Mom Really Needs

What A New Mom Really Needs

A photographic diary of where my daughter's (and now, my son’s!) dirty diapers have traveled.

Ever since I can remember, I’ve wanted to have the kind of job that would allow me to travel and work anywhere, anytime.

My husband took this picture of me working from an outdoor cafe in Playa del Carmen. Two hours later, we were staring, shocked, as protesters scaled the walls of the Capitol.

As a Black digital nomad, being able to work from anywhere in the world is about more than working in the sunshine. It’s about standing in the light. It’s about carving out peace in a lifetime of experiences dominated by white supremacy and privilege.

It’s about showing my kids something different.

Being Black in America doesn’t teach you that you have a choice. Seeing the world does. I realized when I travel, I become a freer, more empowered me. I play. I learn. I work. I thrive.

This #quarantine lined up perfectly with #nationalcraftmonth 🧸 I made Phoenix’s blanket and pillow years ago, but I finally got to start working on one for Osiris (center)! Thanks @anji_bee for getting me back into it and for sharing @daisyfarmcrafts gingham pattern with me 💗 .

Don’t know if you can tell, but we’re in class! Taking advantage of #quarantine to participate in a three-day live-stream meditation training at @ishtayoga 🙏🏽 Hope y’all are making some time for #selfcare in all this. I hope we can take some of these new mindful habits and time to connect with each other forward.
If the old way of doing things didn’t serve you, you never have to go back. Create a new normal. .

Well, somebody’s happy about the ban on plastic bags. 😍Just as well — they either all end up in landfills or at our house 😂

My friend @projectmotherhood wrote this post about #momburnout and it just hit me at exactly the right time. Going from one to two kids, especially while trying to keep up with work and school, has been a crazy #struggle but Allison and my mama tribe (looking at you, @dellahsjubilation @mymommyvents @mommyrandr @40aprons ) keep me inspired and looking ahead 💗 Read my response to her post on my site! #babydroppings #momlife #survivalmode #mama #blackmoms #blackmomsblog #babiesofinstagram #thestruggleisreal
