It has been a while since our last blog, but we’re back! These last couple of weeks have been a complete rollercoaster and had me questioning God’s favor. Last week, I was at about 10 weeks pregnant. Went to the doctor last Monday, and my OB said the baby was only measuring at 5 weeks. I started bleeding heavily on Wednesday, and on Friday night, I had excruciating pain. Chris had to rush me to the emergency room, where they informed us that we had a miscarriage. On 2/3/23, my worst nightmare happened. Chris and I lost our little blessing.

I am still processing this loss, but I know that there will be Sunshine at the end of this dark and rainy journey. I’ve gone back and forth about sharing this piece of my life because WE (Black women) never really want to talk about it, but in the midst of me sharing this information with a few of my village, I’ve learned that I’m not alone, and this too shall pass. I’m understanding now more than ever why it’s important to be careful when asking a woman when she will be having another baby, because you never know what state she is in, in that moment. Chris and I have shared so many great chapters in our lives, and we felt it was only right to be transparent about the bumps in the road.

Let me tell you how God works. Before this dark moment happened in my life, I was asked to be the Chairwoman for the Ladies Activities for the 59th Texas Council of Alpha Chapters (TCAC) District Conference. I was taken aback about this request and flattered to have this responsibility. Thank you Larry Moore (Chair of 59th TCAC) and Xi Kappa Lambda Chapter (Host Chapter) for seeing something in me, and entrusting that I would do what was needed to make sure the Alpha wives and sweethearts felt appreciated. I’m sitting here now in amazement thinking about the timing of everything. I needed this fellowship with these amazing women more than they knew, especially after what had just happened the week before with the miscarriage. It truly was in God’s timing. The Men of Alpha even honored me with an award for doing a great job.

Also, congratulations to my incomparable, classy, sophisticated Regional Director, Joya T. Hayes on being honored!! She exudes what an Alpha Kappa Alpha woman should be, and I’m so happy I was there to see her receive the yellow roses she deserves. Thank you for embracing me this weekend like you always do Madam Regional Director!

Thank you again men of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated for allowing me and your ladies to celebrate this amazing accomplishment with you. We don’t take lightly the work you are doing in your communities and nationally. Special shoutout to my honey-do, soulmate and best friend Chris for being by my side and assisting the ladies with anything that they needed! HE knew I was the perfect match for the task, and made sure everything went smoothly. I know I can speak for the wives and say we truly felt the love from our Alpha husbands all weekend. To my village, I love you dearly😘.
