Black Moms Quotes

“Black Moms create magic, so that makes me magical.”

“Dear Black Women… I encourage you to be VERY mindful of who you choose to have your children with. Too many of our black children are growing up without their fathers. Why would you have sex with a man that you know isn’t any good? Why give up your loving to a man that has kids with this woman and that woman? Why have kids with a man that stays in and out of jail/prison? Why have kids with a man that doesn’t work? Why have kids with a man that’s clearly NOT father material? Think before you have unprotected sex… You can’t afford NOT to. Our kids deserve better… Choose wisely!”

“In the Black community, we love to say YOU ONLY GET ONE MAMA, but at what cost? If your mom is toxic, when do you say enough is enough? If she’s the reason for your TRAUMA, then what? If you’ve tried over and over to have a respectful and healthy relationship with her, and she STILL keeps up drama, at what point do you stop allowing her to negatively disrupt your life and steal your peace? I encourage Black families to stop making excuses for abuse in any form. A mother shouldn’t be your source of dysfunction, pain, hurt, and disappointment. She should be your source of love, support, encouragement, and guidance. Let’s NOT normalize her foul behavior. You and your mental health matters!”
