The Ebong boys had a blast picking raspberries and pumpkins at Butler’s Orchard. We bought apple cider donuts and ate them with the fresh picked raspberries for a special breakfast this morning 😋

This is how we feel about Friday nights!

It was a looong week of virtual Kindergarten and Pre-K while working in this hot real estate market! Mama is ready to relax 🧖🏾‍♀️

Ezra did NOT enjoy being asked to leave the classrooms and to not play on his brother’s devices during studies. 😫

He is ready for the weekend! 🕺🏾

Happy Father’s Day to all dads and especially my

Happy Father’s Day to all dads and especially my dad who I love dearly. You have loved and guided all of your children with patience and love.
Happy Father’s Day to my husband who nurtures our children and is a blast to play with. Our children light up the second they see your car pull up to our home. I love how you are intentional about teaching our sons the Word, how to pray, what to do when they’re afraid, how to love, appreciate and protect each other and mommy and so much more! I am so thankful for you. You have learned so much from the greatest role model and truly took after the best! The boys are truly blessed to have you, Papaw, and Grandpa in their lives. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

As we celebrated Juneteenth today, I hired black a

As we celebrated Juneteenth today, I hired black admins and businesses and reflected on what it must have felt like to be black on June 19th, 1865. I imagined being a slave and hearing the news that the Civil War was over and we were all free and equal. I thought about the joy, excitement and even shock they must have felt when they were informed of their new status.
I also couldn’t help but consider the disappointment my ancestors must have felt when they realized that they still weren’t really free and certainly not equal. I imagined the pain of daily encounters with laws and customs designed to “keep them in their place”, laws that still treated black people as if they were 3/5’s of a human. The “paper bag tests” that made many black people long to align themselves with all things white, or at least as light as possible, to feel a little more acceptance, esteem and belonging in mainstream society.
I reflected on their day-to-day dealings with Jim Crow laws, segregation, discrimination, lynchings, over-policing, mass incarceration and healthcare disparities, much of which still affect our communities and our families today.
Today, many people became aware of Juneteenth who had no idea it existed before. Some big banks and companies acknowledged Juneteenth, with several even closing their doors and giving paid time off to their employees. I pray that this movement which forced many people to finally see black people and our fight for equality, doesn’t end when it stops trending.
I hope those who celebrated with us today will continue to fight with us, have open dialogues that lead to change and support our businesses and communities going forward. Our culture is one of strength, love, power, self-determination and resilience. I’m proud to be black today and forever. ✊🏾💚❤️🖤✊🏾
