21st Century Heroes: Tara Pringle Jefferson

Hey y'all,

Tara Pringle Jefferson  is an inspiration to me and should be to any mother young or old out there. I had the pleasure of meeting her at Disney World in 2009 while attending a Mommy blogger conference, she is one of the women who introduced and encouraged me to blog!

Tara is a "Midwestern Mama of two with a background in journalism and public relations. She is currently a a work-at-home self-employed woman who enjoys the fact that she has a career that didn't exist 10 years ago."

Tara is a blogger, author, freelance writer, copywriter and public relations consultant. She specializes in social media strategy and nonprofit communications (take a breath there is more) she is a graduate student, does speaking engagements regarding teen parenting/pregnancy, contributes articles for MommyNoire.com and other parenting outlets. Oh yeah she's a wife and daughter too!

Tara Pringle Jefferson  is truly a 21st Century Hero.
Her blog TheYoungMommyLife.com has an amazing mission that I encourage all mom's to connect with. In this very judgmental society we live in the YML provides young moms a voice, a place to feel like they belong. It is where Tara shares her young mom journey, it is a website designed to help young mothers everywhere make informed decisions about: Their relationships, Their education, Their career and Their parenting style. I am inspired by Tara. Please follow her blog and Like her Facebook page and I guarantee you'll be inspired too.

Until next time...
MUAH!

21st Century Heroes - Grandma Mudd

Hey Folks,

Growing up my favorite super hero's were girls. I like the guys but I could better identify with Wonder Woman, Shera and even Xena Warrior Princess.  They exuded femininity, but were strong and always battle ready. This month for Women's History Month I am going to salute a few 21st Century Heroins women who are always battle ready regardless of what the issue is, raising children, fighting for causes etc. These women are my heroes.

My Godmother wrote a beautiful post about her mom a few weeks ago and that is how I'm going to start this series.

Portrait of a General, Born into the Great Depression, married at 17 on a lonely road, fleeing an abusive father, married an abusive spouse, picked cotton for 4 cents a lb to feed 11 children, all graduated HS, most from college. She got her GED at 48, widowed at 54, suffered a stroke and fully recovered, then enrolled in Howard U, became a licensed minister, traveled the next 10 years with me, accepted into Spelman at 73, received the Possible Woman Scholarship at 74, house burned at 75, and while battling back from cancer at 77, she voted for the lst AA President. At 82...she rises to prayer...Need I look any further for a shero? PTL!

Happy Women's History Month

Hey Y'all,

I know it's been a while but I wasn't inspired to post anything over the past couple of weeks. Lots going on and even more on my mind. Through it all however God has been so good to me!

This month in honor of Women's History Month I would like to pay tribute to some Shero's women who have impacted the lives of their families and others. Women who have show them selves mighty and strong. I was inspired to make this my theme because of a beautiful facebook post my Godmother wrote about her mom.

Happy Women's History Month. I hope you come back and read my posts.

Until next time...
MUAH!
