Dear Haze, where do I begin? Let me first start by saying I needed you more than life let on. I thought I knew love but you’ve taught me my heart is far larger than I ever expected. My capacity has surpassed what strength I’ve always thought I had. You’ve made me feel limitless. I still look at you and cry. Not entirely out of sadness due to you growing way too fast but because You are the best part of me. You are what I aspire to be. God has shown me what I could be and just know I’m your biggest fan!! Thank you for choosing me to be your mommy. It’s truly the greatest gift in the world. I love you, pretty girl! 🥹❤️🥰 HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ME AND ALL OTHER MATTERS REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU ARE IN YOUR JOURNEY🥂🫶🏾

I don’t cry often but standing here holding you, listening to every word, and suddenly it all hits me… how much I love you, how much you’ve changed me, how much of my heart lives outside of me now 🥺❤️

My fave photographer @aaronlacy used a new app he’s developing to have AI create a song based off one of the pictures he shot. Cried like a baby and ruined the makeup that @beautybyninjer did so flawlessly 🥹😍 @phoson.app
I literally have the best friends ever!!! They put together a mommy and me shoot for Haze and I as a gift for my birthday. @janeisha_missvi@its_ninjermarie@loveebonique@essencetatiana@aaronlacy y’all are literally the friends turned family I prayed for! God did His BIG ONE! I have yet to take many photos with my baby let alone professional photos. I haven’t been in front of a camera in yearssssss! I’ve been through alot. It was almost foreign to me. I didn’t do any maternity or pregnancy shoots. I was in so much pain! I didn’t do any newborn shoots with or for my baby. My mental and physical was just so tired. Im still exhausted. I experienced post partum depression the first 4 months. I literally cried all day everyday for 4 months straight but was still present in motherhood. Although this seems so simple it was hard for me to do. I’m still trying to love my body and the person I’m becoming all while loving my baby more than I will probably ever love myself again. She’s my best priority! This meant everything to me. If they’d not done it for me I probably wouldn’t have ever done it myself. Simple outfits but pictures I’ll be able to look back on forever.
Thank you @snapchat for inviting me to the first ever SNAPPYS AWARDS 👻🏆💛 Im so proud and honored to be apart of a platform that really sees us! Cheers to an amazing and successful first with any many more to come 🥂
Relying on friends videos because you took no footage for yourself is truly a sign that you had tooooo much fun for your bday weekend. I love my sisters soooooo much!
🎈Happy Birthday, Joia!!!! I pray this year brings you an abundance of love, laughter, wisdom, immaculate health, and finances. I pray your baby girl knows how much you love her and how motherhood is the best gift she could ever give you! Cheers to you, Joia. You’re doing good, girl! I know it gets hard but you still manage to keep swimming despite the waves 🎉🥳🎂 Thank God for another one 🙏🏾
