Hello world!

Welcome to my corner of the internet. I don’t know how you ended up here, but hey! I’ll take it.

I’m Sydney, and I’m not good at the interview question, “so, tell me about yourself.” I guess because, it’s just not that simple, it never has been for me. What you see, could be terribly different from what I want you to know, or what you know isn’t what I want you to see.

See?

It’s not that simple for me. That’s why I name this blog Black aMOMaly. Typically, the first thing people figure out about me is, well, that I’m black. After that, it’s a crapshoot, and could depend on which way the wind blows. So, an anomaly. What I love for people to typically know first (or next, depending on how you see it) is that I am a follower and lover of Christ. He died for our sins, and I’m reminded each day of his tender mercies. Now, being American there are some stereotypes about being Christian, but hey, I’m not getting political, that’s not the focus of this blog.

Or is it?

Hmm.

I guess you all are wondering what in the world IS the focus of this blog, after all, you’ve been reading for a while now, and I’ve yet to tell you enough information to where you could spy on me thoroughly. My apologies, it may be on purpose.

So, back to the purpose, good question to answer, right? It’s what the 4-5 people I told I was making this blog about asked. And each time I probably said “I’m not sure, maybe just my life in general?” But I don’t think that will fly.

Hah, but it’s my blog, so I can do what I want!

Alright. Alright.

The point of this blog is to speak on life experiences that brought me to this point of my life now.

We’ll talk about my home birth, my journey with breastfeeding, parenting woes, black businesses I love, my passion for civic duty, my transition out of the brick and mortar teaching and into the online community of teaching, mental health, and stuff all in-between that.

My goal is to educate in a loving way. I always want to love on people, my desire is to open my home and rain tender loving goodness on all those who enter, because that’s what Christ did for me.

WHY am I just now doing this? Great question! Peer pressure.

No really, too many people in my life kept saying I should start a blog. I felt like what better time to start other than the start of my first Black Breastfeeding Week celebration?

Be good nah, you hear?

Sydney
