I love LOVE
It is beautiful and quite often life changing. The gift of Motherhood has given me a new love story and it is like no other love story told. I am sure you agree with that mamas. I have always enjoyed hearing stories from my mother, grandmother, sisters, cousins and friends about their children. Stories about their love for their mom, grands, aunts and sister friends. And of course the loves of their life also known as their husbands, fiancés, boyfriends and partners. Because I enjoy these stories so much I wanted to start a series highlighting the beauty of Brown Love.
The love stories I hear most often are also the one’s that sometimes go unnoticed in the world of television, social media and in general conversation. I consider myself a well-rounded person with a diverse group of friends in my life. There is no color boundary when it comes to love but sometimes even my friends from other races and ethnicities are surprised that I (we) do most things the way they do and that includes love. This series is for us to share our stories with one another and the world.
The first stories will launch in May and the topic is: Brown Baby Love
How to tell your story: Answer one question and if you want to go deeper turn that answer into a letter to your brown baby, your brown mom or any brown mom that inspires you. Then during Mothers’ Month (May), enjoy the stories of other moms just like you.
I am looking forward to reading (and crying) over your stories.
Would you like to take part in the Brown Baby Love series? Do you know a mom that would be great for the series? Leave your email below or email me at [email protected] or [email protected].
