I get to encounter so many amazing women in my life, and I’m grateful for them all. But if I’m being honest, God handpicked my momma for me. She’s everything and more.

Protective. Strong. Always on guard. A real momma bear. She talks about carrying me and already knowing who I would become. Looking back now, I believe her.

I never knew what it felt like to worry about food, lights being off, or lack. Even through hardships, she remained the strong one — not just for our family, but for the community around us. Always helping people. Housing people. Giving. Pouring. Loving. And y’all wonder why I hug trees and care so deeply about people? I seen it first.

Now thankfully for many people, I did *not* inherit her full response to conflict 😂 but what I did inherit was her resilience, her creativity, her heart, and her ability to keep going no matter what life looked like.

Pearl was the perfect name for her because that woman is truly a jewel. Everybody thinks she’s my sister, but she’s my friend, my protector, my front-line battler, my safe place. She’s funny, gifted, talented, creative, beautiful, and honestly one of the most unspoken heroes I know.

Growing up, I didn’t fully understand how much she protected me. Looking back now, I realize she made sure what touched her did not touch me. That kind of love changes generations.

Happy Mother’s Day to the most resilient, beautiful woman I’ve ever encountered. My momma. 🤍
And somehow… she aging backwards too. ✨
