Finding herself in New York

Today, my little girl is in New York with me. Sometimes I look at her and think about the pregnant woman who was abandoned, the mother working for low wages, the woman who stopped buying anything for herself.

I wish I could go back and tell her: you have no idea how far you are going to come.

My side hustle became my business. My struggle became my strength. And while building a future for my daughter, I found myself again.
