Who is The Crazy Creole Mommy?

I am just a mom living with multiple chronic conditions trying to change the world to make it a better place.

I love my Child. I love Coffee. I love Politics. I love Baseball. I love my Family. I love Architecture. I love my Friends. I love History. I love Fox Mulder because he loves Dana Scully. I love raising a little hell!

“Something cracks open inside of you when you be

“Something cracks open inside of you when you become a mother…”

Nothing. Not my aching joints, not my unmanageable jpouch, not fatigued mind. Nothing will stop me from keeping my child safe. And keeping them safe includes voting for people who will see my child’s brilliance, humor, empathy, stubbornness, passion, talent and beauty before they see skin color, ethnicity, gender identity, religion or sexual orientation.

Through the obstacles of functioning like an able-bodied person, I will walk to the polls and cast my vote for a person with a proven track record for voting to expand the budget for research & development for cures for conditions like IBD, Lupus, Cancer and rare disorders. The one who was the first to propose a comprehensive bill on disparities in Black Maternal Healthcare, that sparked inspiration for the 2019 democratic primary platform. The one that made the personal call to ensure that marriage certificates would start flowing for those same sex couples in California. The one who proposed bills that would ensure children of lower income working parents not only had a safe and stimulating place to go during the summer but that they had meals throughout the day. The one who advised our sitting president about lowering drug prices, the realities of student loans and how they are preventing people from going into necessary careers like medicine and education. The one who doesn’t “other” people.

Motherhood is pushing me through the barriers my body has created, in order to protect my child’s present and future.

Let’s hit the polls. For our kids. For our families. For our healthcare. For our freedoms. For the people.

Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vo

Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote.
Thank you.

Grandpapaw Jax and GG Souli for Halloween! As fun

Grandpapaw Jax and GG Souli for Halloween!

As funny as this pic is of these two, I wish I could jump to the future and see them as the heads of our family. I can only imagine Souli being driven by one of her grandkids to go to Jax’s house so they can sit on the porch with their coffee and download about their morning. The family dinners and holidays when their two families get together and enjoy one another, while bringing these two & their respective spouses plates to their corners of the family table.

The more the days drag on, the more I am so glad these two have one another. More siblings than cousins. More besties than just siblings. ✨

Philly you have been to good to my kid!! 🙏🏽

I know I’ve been quiet. Well, it’s because I’ve been really siiiick!! And now so is Jax. 😶 So we got a nice little cluster of infections, chronic flares and mucus happening over here and the past few days have been GREAT! BUT friend who has survived many a hurricane and is also an #IBDMom, pointed some stuff out to me as I’ve been trying to gather resources while being sick for those who need it from the storm a week ago and will after this upcoming storm. Please share and stay tuned for more resources and ways to help! Xoxox

Repost: @ibdmoms 🌧As we brace ourselves for the hurricane approaching Florida, it’s easy to get caught up in the chaos of preparing for the storm. But amidst the hustle and bustle, let’s not forget that self-care is healthcare, especially for us moms with IBD. 💪🏼

This is the perfect time to prioritize your needs, so you can show up for your family when it matters most. In addition to our 5 Tips for Practicing Self-Care Before The Storm for The IBDMom, here are 3 things to remember before getting started:

1️⃣ PROTECTING YOUR SKIN IS VITAL! MOISTURIZE and SUNBLOCK!

2️⃣ Caring for your hair now will make your life easier!

3️⃣ It’s OKAY to indulge in a mask or a fuzzy robe!

Let’s take these small but impactful moments to care for ourselves during this challenging time. You are strong, and prioritizing your health is essential, not just for you, but for your family as well. We’ve got this, and we’re in this together! 💖 #IBDMoms #SelfCareIsHealthcare #HurricanePrep #MomLife

There will never be another.

“I can remember very clearly, lying in my hospital bed in April 2012. I heard the surgeon and the fellows talking outside of my room. It was a beautiful day, and there I was, stuck inside this cold, noisy room, feeling like I was running out of time. I was 28 years old and hadn’t even begun to live yet. I had so much mothering left to do, so many places to see, and a whole list of goals still unfinished. I wanted another chance at love, at life. So I prayed. If I got a second chance, I promised I’d make it count. I’d be the best mom I could be, support my community, and finish this unfinished life.

Now here I am, beginning my last year in college. It’s been 20 years in the making, and though my IBD journey started way back in my freshman year, I’m closing this chapter now. The decision to go back wasn’t easy—it never is—but I knew I had to do it. Going back to school with IBD, as a single mom, was a mountain to climb, but I’m so glad I took that first step. And if you’re thinking about it, mama, I’m here to say: You can do it, too.”

@ibdmoms 🚨New Blog Post Alert🚨

💜 Living with IBD is tough enough, but as Black women, we face additional challenges—being heard, believed, and receiving proper pain management. Our latest blog dives deep into the disparities Black and BIPOC women face in healthcare, especially when it comes to chronic illness and pain management. From personal stories to tips on advocating for yourself, this post is a must-read for anyone navigating these layers of bias.

You’re not alone in this fight, and together, we can push for the care and respect we all deserve.

Happy Birthday to one of the best babysitters, bos

Happy Birthday to one of the best babysitters, bosses, mentors, aunties and friends. She does the best Cher impersonation and is a top chef in the kitchen. She also got your back, your front and your side. If you don’t have a Holly Rob Peetey in ya corner, I don’t know what to tell you.

There were a very small number of people that my mom would trust enough to not just be alone with, but take us out in public without her. You had to be more than responsible, you had to be a good person. Holly was one of the few that could not only enter our home sanctuary, but she took us out when mom needed a break and picked me up from school a couple of times when mom was in a jam. Before her own kids and her non-profit, Holly was building and participating in community.

Holly is one of the funniest, kindest, hardworking and loyal people I know. She is the type of person that you never have to call on, if she sees you need something, she rolls up her sleeves and figures out how she can help. She turns 60 today and she is making 60 look like the new 40!! She was instrumental in inspiring me to get more involved in advocating for those in marginalized spaces. Her work in the #parkinsondisease and #autism space has impacted so many families personally. I am asking my supporters to donate to her foundation, @hollyrodfdn in honor of Holly Peete’s birthday. If you can’t donate $$ contact the foundation and ask how you can help & support them. 🫶🏽

Cheers on your birthday, Holly-Holly! We love you!!! ❤️

Repost: @jaxonhoneycutt Mr. President. I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your efforts and commitment throughout your campaign and your administration. I wanted to express my gratitude for the courage it took to step into the arena and advocate for your vision of our country.

As a young person, your campaign meant a lot to me. Your message of inclusivity and equality resonated deeply with me and many others in America. It showed me that sometimes the people in power really care.

I understand that the decision to suspend your campaign must have been a difficult one, but please know that your efforts have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. You have inspired me to continue advocating for causes that are important to me and to believe that change is possible.

Thank you once again for your bravery and dedication. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors, and I hope our paths may cross again someday.
