“I could never replace his mom no matter how good of a job that I think I'm doing” – Latonya Minor
Was it luck? A chance encounter? Or simply God, that would not allow the connection between Latonya Minor and her nephew to be broken? While being raised by blood relatives is not always in the best interest of a child, this amazing testimony is a prime example of what love and “want to,” can do to change the trajectory of someone’s life.
As a woman of faith, Tonya took a serious self-inventory of her life and made the conscious decision to parent, when she could have continued living her best “no kids attached” life. Tonya illuminates for us how life’s challenges can be reframed into opportunities – if we let them. Every twist and serendipitous turn within this story demonstrates why we must “stay woke,” because you never know what’s coming for you. While it is certainly not easy raising her nephew, as a single mother, it is, indeed, HER PURPOSE!
