“For many families, the house is not just property. It is the last surviving piece of sacrifice, survival, and love. It is where babies came home to. Where fish got fried after funerals. Where grandmama prayed over everybody before they left the door. And yet every day, families lose homes not because they were irresponsible — but because nobody explained Medicaid planning before crisis arrived. As a death doula, I have learned that preparation is not about ‘planning to die.’ It is about protecting the people who must keep living after loss. Because real legacy is not only what you leave behind. It is whether your family is left with peace… or panic.----- I can help... The Pink Grasshopper Full Spectrum Dola & Training Services

They show you the highlights… but not the aftermath. Everybody celebrates when athletes make it — but nobody prepares them for what comes after the money, the pressure, and the spotlight shift. As a mom of a son playing international basketball, I get a front row seat to the real lessons. And the biggest one? 👉 Talent will open doors… but discipline, wisdom, and preparation will keep them open. My younger sons are watching their brother in real time — learning what to do, what not to do, and how to build a life that lasts beyond the game. This isn’t just about basketball. This is about legacy, protection, and making sure our children don’t have to learn everything the hard way.

A lot of people weren’t given the playbook—but that doesn’t mean you can’t win. The sooner you shift from survival habits to strategy, the sooner your money starts working for you instead of against you.

Wednesday Wow: Postpartum Moms Deserve Better: Why Hospital Food Isn’t Enough

Nine personal births in North Carolina hospitals and I have yet to be impressed with a single meal! Let’s be honest—hospital food for new moms often misses the mark. After giving birth, your body has done something extraordinary: it created life, nourished it, and now it’s working overtime to heal and produce milk. The last thing you should be doing is settling for bland, low-nutrition meals…

Black Marriage Day is a special occasion celebrated annually. This day is dedicated to celebrating the beauty and significance of marriage within the Black community. The Wedded Bliss Foundation, established by Nisa I. Muhammad in 2001, played a crucial role in creating this day. The importance of Black Marriage Day lies in its focus on the positive aspects of marriage, including emotional support, consistent sexual intimacy, healthy companionship, and the overall prosperity it brings to families. It highlights the commitment of husbands and wives, emphasizing the values of trust and loyalty that are passed down through generations.

Why Some People Will Struggle to Get Hired in 2026 (Even With a Labor Shortage)

The American workforce has shifted—dramatically. Employers across industries are scrambling to fill roles, and on paper, this should be one of the easiest job markets in decades to land solid work and start building real financial momentum. Yet many people remain on the sidelines. Go figure! The reason isn’t always a lack of jobs. More often, it’s avoidable mistakes that quietly knock…

Why Zeldin Must Go: Protecting Pregnant Moms, Elders & Vulnerable Families from an Environmental Health Crisis

In 2019, I wrote publicly about why Andrew Wheeler was not what the EPA needed. I was a mother of nine, a homeschool parent deeply committed to civics, and a full spectrum doula trainer, serving pregnant women—many of them Black and Brown—whose lives were directly affected by environmental policy. I watched as Wheeler quietly undermined critical protections, including mercury standards that exist…

Homeschooling Without Losing Your Mind (or Each Other)

Let me say this out loud for the folks in the back:Homeschooling is not supposed to look like school at home.If it does, somebody’s tired… and it’s usually the adult. After years of homeschooling across different seasons of life—multiple kids, different learning styles, work schedules that don’t care about lesson plans—I’ve learned one simple truth:         Sanity comes from flexibility, not…
