My Summer as a TEEN MOM aka JENELLE

My Summer as a Teen Mom aka JENELLE

That's Me!!!  My first club experience of Summer Sixteen

 *Disclaimer* No shade to the real Teen Moms out there that are taking care of their children or to the former Teen Moms that have successfully raised their children despite the odds.

I became a Mother six years ago and it has been nothing short of amazing! However, (comma) every now and then we need a break because motherhood isn’t one job, it’s a million jobs under one moniker!  Therefore, I have chronicled my summer as a Teen Mom. I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I enjoyed experiencing it.***

Around May 2016, my cousin Kendra and I decided that we were going to have an epic summer. Although she lives in Atlanta and I live in Dallas, we made a vow to dedicate Summer Sixteen to ourselves. Since the passing of my Mother in the fall of 2014, I had been in an emotional funk. The sun didn’t seem as sun shiny since she transitioned beyond the clouds and so I was determined to take heed to Drake’s song, Summer Sixteen and personify his lyrics in my life. I was looking for revenge all summer sixteen. I needed revenge against Summer Fifteen, because that summer had me sad, depressed, heartbroken, and utterly confused. I wanted to play dirty and not clean and just enjoy myself. So that’s exactly what I did…

Fast forward to June 2016 and my kid leaves for Michigan to stay with his Dad for the summer.  (Rubs hands like Birdman)

And that my friends is when my new life as a Teen Mom began. Many of you may or may not be familiar with MTV’s long running reality show Teen Mom, and if you are, you know that half of them girls are the worst depictions of a Teen Mom or any type of Mom for that matter. But, the worst one of `em all is JENELLE.

So, as a running joke between me and my best friend, Tonika, I decided to take on some of the characteristics of Teen Mom staple and resident bad girl, Jenelle, who many of my Facebook friends dubbed as “the worst one”! Although, I wasn’t as reckless or careless as Janelle, she became my alter ego for the summer. All summer I was carefree, uninhibited and super Lit! 

How to become a Teen Mom… There are only 5 steps (In my Dru Hill voice)!

Step 1: Cast your offspring off to someone else! In my case I sent him to live with his other 50%. I had no child care expenses and I didn’t have to comb the Earth for a baby sitter! #WIN

Step 2: Turn all the way up!!!

Step 3: Forget the haters! (Don't give a F**k what anyone thinks) Famous words of Jenelle

Step 4: Check on your child sometimes… Geez!

Step 5: Do some things you’ve never done before!

Summer Sixteen went as follows: 

Painted a Masterpiece S/O to The Purple One 

Really get into Kanye's workout plan so you land you an NBA player or at least a dude with a car... It works!!!

Treat yourself... This was a luxury I can't do when I'm Adulting and being a real Mom!! 

Give back to your community (HashtaglunchbafFlint Board Members)

Do Something you've never done before like: travel to California,climb a mountain, and then Twerk on  it!

Love your body and go to the pool in a bangin swimsuit

Attend a futuristic Silent Party  in North Hollywood and catch up with old friends! 

Attempt to go to the BET Awards, but encounter all manner of craziness that can only happen in LA LA LAND aka Hollywood

Be good to yourself, pop bottles, and smile

Oh and Lastly, get your kid back!!!!!!

Oh and so much more happened, but I'd be typing for days if I included everything...

PEACE! 

The ONLY LEMONADE WE ACKNOWLEDGE IS GUCCI!

Let’s be clear I’m not a bandwagon Gucci fan, neither am I a die-hard Gucci fan, but I do loves me some Gucci Mane and the endless Trap music he has blessed us with. Everybody knows I luh (LOVE) God and Trap music. That’s law and that’s fact! 

Gucci Mane is like everybody’s favorite hood cousin, that happens to be the coolest cousin, but also happens to be yo hustling/trappin’ cousin that you love so much. You know the cousin that always brings both dark and light liquor, plus some herbal medicinals. He’s basically your cousin that’s always “lookin out” in Hood Terms. He’s the cousin that Grandma stays pleadin’ the blood of Jesus over. The cousin that she puts blessing oil on, unbeknownst to him. It is because of her prayers that he got prison time instead of being six feet under. Due to her diligent prayers, he is now currently free. Shout out to Grandma!

Gucci Mane has had several run-ins with the law. He has been in custody since 2013. He was scheduled to be released on September 20, 2016 (my babydaddy birthday), but the Lord saw fit that our Trap Homie/favorite cousin be released on May, 26, 2016, just in time for Memorial Day weekend. All strippers can REJOICE! I’m sure Gucci has a straight out of prison Trap Anthem on deck we can all twerk to. In case you didn’t know Gucci has been droppin’ mixtapes from prison the whole time. Which brings me to my next point. Is Gucci working with Luscious and Cookie Lyon? Inquiring minds want to know!

Let me hold a 'Tub" Real Quick!

I can't wait for the glorious day when I'm able to ask my fellow man, "Aye, let me hold a Tub real quick!" Oh, what a glorious day it will be.....

Florida Evans never thought we’d see Good Times, but boy are times a changin’. A woman will be on the $20 bill, a Black woman to be exact! The mother of all Black women. The first Black woman in America to wish a ni**a would. The first Black woman in in the United States of America, bold enough to shoot anybody that posed a threat to or jeopardized her freedom, including another Black person. The first black woman in American written history to get us, us free like Simke’!

The ultimate Black woman: Miss Harriet Tubman. Miss Tubman changed many lives, including mine, and any person reading this blog. Her courage, resilience, and strength carried an entire race of people on her back all the way to freedomland. Harriet shows us she was free in her mind, long before she was free in the physical sense, and that mindset helped her to set the captives free and become our modern day Moses.

Harriet is a game changer and has been changing the game since the 1800’s, and beginning in the year 2020, she will forever change the game yet again as the first woman to grace American currency. I'm pretty sure when O.G. young Harriet was running barefoot through the woods and swamps, it never crossed her mind that she'd be the face of new money. Money wasn't the motive in this case, but freedom definitely was. If ya’ll thought Black History Month (BHM) 2016 was lit, just wait til BHM 2020 when we’re making it reign supreme with Tubman bills on deck!!! Aaaaayyyyeee!!!!
