You’re not stuck, you’re just in a version of your story that everybody tries to skip.

I just left the library and I just had a flashback .. in 2017 after I had my son he was like 2 weeks… I woke up and my phone off … I didn’t have the money to pay my bill so I rushed to the library so that I could connect to WiFi (I didn’t even have wifi at home, barely a home cause rent was past due) I rushed to the library because I was waiting on a phone call from this place of employment…. Mind you I hadn’t showered nothing , I just knew I couldn’t miss the call… I was breastfeeding my son so after feeding him I would need to pump bc he didn’t eat much. (I left my pump at home) my shirt was drenched in milk , he was cranky because I was cranky it was just a mess this day… I finally got the call…. I ain’t get the job 😂🤦🏾‍♀️… oh was I pissed! I cried not because I didn’t get the job but because I was STRESSED THE FUCK OUT.. I was also going to school at this time.. I gave birth to my son October 1, 2017 left the hospital October 4 back to school October 5th.. we went on fall break September 30 so when I went back to school my Math professor was concerned because I didn’t have a stomach! At the end of class she pulled me to the side and asked me was everything ok .. I said yes and that I had given birth she then asked me “and you’re already back??” … yes ma’am I ain’t got no time to waste.. a set back was not gonna hold me back 😭 when I left her class SHIRT DRENCHED because again I didn’t have my breast pump… anyway, despite my struggles NO MONEY, RENT LATE (eventually got evicted) , I only had my children .. my poor Jada just had to watch all of this .. I felt like a terrible Mom!!

Here’s how I turned my situation around

I signed up for the scholar house in Louisville Kentucky, it’s apartments for single moms going to school. Your rent is paid through section 8. There was a waiting list but I signed up anyway manifesting that I got pulled quick .. I made sure Miss Harvetta saw my face at EVERY event we were required to go to… welp, she pulled me to the side one day and said “you are one of many that participate in these required events , we have some new apartments opening February on cane run) long story short she pulled my application and I moved into the apartments on cane run… while I were there I was working at the YMCA getting ktapp… wasn’t enough… eventually down the road I decided to start a business . I took out a student loan and yes… that’s wtf I used .. everything started slow … I bought 1,000 pair of sock shoes from China. Cost was around 3500…. Sold them for 50.00 a piece .. I made 7k in one day I knew then it was time to relieve my duties as a section 8 voucher holder (2020).. I moved out prospect 2021 and life been amazing ever since .. next month I will be transitioning to another state (Texas) and I can’t wait to see what my future endeavors hold…. Fast forward to 2025 I now make 1,000,000 a year .. Chin up , Chest out sis. You got this. Never let your now situation be your later outcome …

... Read moreLife can often present us with daunting challenges, especially when juggling responsibilities like parenting, education, and financial stability. The story shared demonstrates that even in the darkest times, hope and determination can lead to extraordinary transformations. Many single mothers face similar situations, where external pressures seem overwhelming. These challenges might include loss of employment, housing instability, or the juggling act between studies and childcare. The author's journey is a testament to the possibility of change. By seeking out resources, such as the Scholar House in Louisville, Kentucky, which offers support for single moms pursuing education, she created opportunities to improve her circumstances. These programs are vital in providing stability and the community support needed to flourish. Signing up, attending events, and being proactive are crucial steps toward accessing such resources. Furthermore, the entrepreneur spirit displayed in starting a business emphasizes the power of innovation and initiative. Investing wisely, even with limited resources, can indeed yield impressive returns. The decision to source products overseas and sell them profitably showcases not only business acumen but also the fearless mindset necessary to succeed. As we consider the pathways to success, it becomes evident that resilience, community support, and a willingness to adapt are essential themes that resonate universally. She highlights the importance of believing in oneself and maintaining a forward-looking perspective, regardless of current setbacks. Just as she did, others can learn to leverage their challenges into opportunities and find ways to elevate their lives. The journey may be tough, but the outcomes can be incredibly rewarding. In conclusion, let this account inspire anyone facing difficulties to remember: your current situation does not define your future. Embrace your story, no matter how messy it may seem, and understand that you have the power to rewrite it.
