LADIES

LADIES….

If you are into health, natural beauty, herbal products and spirituality, than you are very likely to be a strong, conscious woman who is interested in going against the "status quo". There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Arlene Walker has been fighting hard to develop forums and social networks for all of those who share those interests.

We revolutionize the internet by creating platforms for our voices. I am getting with the program.

There is a new internet site called, www.formodernmom.com. It is a digitally interactive magazine, social network, photo sharing site, chat-room and blog, designed by African-American women on the subject of Modern Motherhood. You can view endless content, submit content, post photos, or chat about issues that impact the most important role in the world – NEW-AGE MOTHERHOOD.

African-American moms have a very unique set of issues and circumstances. We are trying to raise healthy, well-rounded children in a hectic environment within a fast-paced world. We have an obesity crisis that is threatening our children’s physical health. We have a mainstream media that projects images that affects our children’s esteem. We are still responsible for the spiritual health of a child in a material world. There is also Baby-daddy drama, A.D.D., allergy, asthma, hyperactive little boys, math difficulties, peer-pressure, bed-wetting, sibling rivalry and a slew of daily issues. THIS IS THE REALITY THAT IS COMBINED WITH THE JOYS OF X-MAS SHOPPING, BIRTHDAY PARTIES, THEIR BALLET REHEARSALS AND FOOTBALL GAMES, AND THE JOY OF WATCHING THEM GROW EVERY DAY.
