I am 26 years old. I’m a single mother of four kids. I had been living with my mother, but when she is evicted in a few weeks, I’ll become homeless. I was working part time for a government program, but that program ended on October 22nd, so I’m jobless and about to be homeless.
When we’re evicted, we’ll be moving into a supportive public housing program. Once I’m settled in there, I want to go to school and get a nice paying job so I can take care of my kids and support them financially. I have had no luck in finding a job.
I think of myself first as a mother.
This is a poem I wrote about myself:
Being a mother is a black woman like me
Being a mother is giving respect and acting respectfully
Being a mother is supporting my children financially
Being a mother is hard, especially when I have no one supporting me
Hey, what can I say, at the end of the day, being a mother is definitely me
