Is this a strike for all women, or privileged white women? What about the women who cannot afford to take this day off and depend on each day’s salary to make a living?
Black moms are serving lemonade. Straight up. We have been dodging and weaving negative stereotypes since the beginning of time. America loves portraying us in a negative light and we are so over it.

Has your groove ever been hacked and you feel the desire to go on strike from everything? Like, just kick your feet up and log out of life? CTRL-ALT-DLT…complete mom shutdown. Has motherhood ever been so emotionally taxing and physically draining that you feel the need to shove everything off your plate? I’m talking about, flipping…
Motherhood is not a race, I’m throwing in my towel. Do you ever feel lousy because you are so busy peeking into your neighbor’s yard, looking at all they have, that suddenly your own property becomes….blah? So consumed with checking out other families with their “perfect kids” and “perfect life” that you’re overlooking your entire…
