My Mom the Don

The most confident person I know is my Mom. She’s one of the few people I know who puts their money where their mouth is and will get the job done. And when she says she’s going to do something, she does it.

As kids, my Mom was stern, but kind, and always treated my baby sister and I like we were the main characters. Everything was about us and she protected us with ten-toes-down. If anyone came at us, whether it was another child or an adult, best believe my Mom was a force to be reckoned with and you didn’t want that smoke. I remember when we had a problem with drug dealers posting outside of our house, they would stand up, acknowledge her and moved on about their business. My Mom is an OG.

She’s also very wise, highly respected among others, street-smart, disciplined woman who will offer advice whether you want to hear it or not. I think of all the things she did for me with confidence as a kid by motivating me to make the right choices and always supporting my talents and I feel grateful that the stars chose her to be my Mom.
