Charlotte’s heartbeat is community — and this weekend proves it. OMOL’s 3rd Annual Family Fishing Derby Weekend brings together families of every background for a celebration of healing, heritage, and connection. From the pier‑side fishing at McAlpine Creek Park to the elegant Urban Soirée Tea & Sisterhood and the men’s Breakfast, Boots & Bullets with Minister B, each moment is designed to restore, uplift, and unite. The weekend’s diversity shines through — moms, dads, mentors, and children of all shades and stories gathering side by side. The Pink Grasshopper Full Spectrum Doula & Training Services LLC reminds us of the power of nurturing families; OMOL Mentoring Inc. continues its mission to guide young men toward purpose; and Zenith Wellness brings balance through handcrafted, herb‑infused teas and restorative experiences. Together, these local organizations create a space where Charlotte families can breathe, bond, and belong. The Fishing Derby remains free and open to all, while the private donation events offer deeper connection and reflection. It’s more than a weekend — it’s a movement of community, discovery, and healing.

Get To The Money 2: Scholarships & Grants for Low-Income Moms, Single Moms & Adult Learners

Hi readers, I just fropped a blog post previously for high schoolers because, well it made sense to do so. I wanted to come back and show some love for the older ones. The family foundations are affected because too many times she puts herself on the back burner for her family. Even if she has secured a solid foundation, putting her family first sometimes looks like choosing motherhood over…

“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.

Maternal health conversations often focus on mothers alone. But research — and lived experience — show that fathers influence maternal and infant health from the very beginning.

In every generation, a woman rises who understands both the science and the soul of birth. Her name is Jabela.

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…
