Also, some words about this woman: sister, daughter, musician, teacher, administrator, holds a masters degree. Solo mother. She nursed and breast-fed and sleep trained and went to all the doctors appointments and found the daycare and swim class and went to the park and the mall to visit Santa and traveled on the airplane and moved across the country all while working full time to pay the bills and the rent and maintain the car and the health insurance and the childcare and everything else.
She came to New York on a red-eye to see @liberationbway and left the next morning before 7 to get back to her kid.
