Black Supermama.

bold...

nurturing...

fierce...

magical...

powerful.

A black supermama is not to glorify the idea of doing it all yourself and carrying the weight of motherhood by alone.

A black supermama is the black mother who understands that motherhood is a mental, emotional, and physical journey. One that requires healing, grace, self love, and patience.

a black mother who understands that her joy is worth fighting for.

a black mother who understands the importance of pouring back into herself.

a black mother who understands her value.

a black mother who understands that her mental and physical health matters and has always mattered.

As a black mother we carry the weight of how the world will perceive our children.

We carry the weight of having the tough conversations to protect

their safety. We carry the weight of what it means for our children to grow up black in this world today.

But we also carry the weight of what it means to be a black woman. We carry the weight of the injustice. We carry the weight of the health disparities during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. We carry the weight of the lack of representation.

However, with all that weight we still choose to take up and enter spaces that our ancestors only dreamed of. We choose to show up for our children day in and day out regardless of how we are feeling. We break generational curses and find healing.

That makes us black supermamas.

It's the fact that we live a reality that was designed to break us down,

But we choose to fly.

Fly for our children.

Fly for our ancestors.

Fly for our community.

Fly for ourselves.
