Mother’s with Criminal Backgrounds Need Love Too

Leave a comment

Ride of Die Chick,  That was the song back in the day. Eve seemed liked the hard do whatever for her man type. Yeah that’s what a man wants a chick that’s willing to sit in jail why he finds another dying to be loved chick to take his next case.

That’s not what happens to all the women with criminal backgrounds but it would be foolish of us not to believe that men don’t play a vital role in women choosing to be apart of that life. In a society that seems to be embarrassing female leadership, we’re embracing the cynical behavior of women also.

Bad Girls Club, Mob Wives, Real House Wives of Wherever, Basketball Wives are all shows that magnify the emotional roller coasters of women. We are so much more then weave and lip gloss. We know that but when we enter a meeting will our business partners know that. For me this means we have to work 20 times harder than before to prove we deserve to sit at the board table.

Back to women with criminal backgrounds. How are these women suppose to enter back into society when the government won’t allow school loans, the last person a company wants to hire is a felon with a kid, they can’t even get section 8 in Illinois. Yes it was their choice to break the law but if we don’t want them to repeat the behavior we need to offer some type of help.

I know people with College degree’s that are doing nothing with them. People with great jobs that complain every day.

Do you know a woman that has successfully entered into the workforce with a background? Share the story with us. Someone needs some hope.

Motivated Mommy Making Moves

Leave a comment
Mother’s day is this weekend. (Hope you have your moms gift) Although if you ask any mom she’d probably say mothers deserve more than one day that falls on a Sunday. That means moms have to go to work the next day. The reality soon settles in that mother’s day is over on Monday morning. It’s back to the grind of life.

If you’ve followed my on twitter @MommyMakinMoves and Facebook you’ve seen my mantra. Motivated Mommy Making Moves. I think it’s pretty fly. Don’t you? 
Well, I came up with this little saying because of all the buzz around women pushing their dreams to the side to raise their children or be supportive to their mate. When I heard that this was expected of me, I got angry. I was mad that people in my life expected me to “settle down”. I was frustrated that as a woman that had dreams before I had a man and a child I was expected to abandon all the vivid dreams that kept me progressing. I was pissed that my life would become mundane and routine. In a nut shell I wanted to start a RIOT (No 2Chainz)
After the back in fourth in my head of if I could still be a great mother and wife while pursuing my passion, I came to the conclusion that I had no choice. I refused to pour into others leaving my own cup empty. I deserved to be fulfilled, I deserved to live in abundance even if that meant me taking on the extra work load.

This issue inspired me to make our signature shirt “Motivated Mommy Making Moves” with the image of our beautiful 1st Lady Michelle Obama. She is an amazing role model for women and girls. 
Motivated Mommy Making Moves means that I’ll never forget I’m a mother but I will continue to move towards my professional and personal destiny. Yes there will be some tough decisions along the way but heavy is the head that wears the crown and as my husband says I’m a queen. 
You can have love, a social life, success and be an amazing mother. I’m here to tell you it isn’t easy but it is a challenge well worth the juggling act.
Sincerely,
Motivated Mommy Making Moves.

Lil Wayne and Jay Z aren’t the only people in the world with big dreams. It’s perfectly normal for you to boost your confidence by projecting your future career, scholastic and business plans to the world. Don’t be arrogant but having a positive outlook on your future will inspire those around you. Start on your business plan, even if you have no money. Put a picture of your dream house on your wall, even if you stay in a shelter. List the characteristics of your dream job, even if you’re a freshman in high school. It’s never too early to start planning for your future wins.

Keep pushing and believing in your dreams but remember without hard smart work there will be no reward.
