“People are going to talk about you, regardless.” – Denise Hendricks
All the single ladies! *cues Beyonce and hits an 8 count right quick* These days, it seems like coming into motherhood later in life - particularly as a Black, single woman - bothers folks more than becoming a mother too young. What in the Being Mary Jane is a woman to do? Denise Hendricks will be the first to tell you to listen to the desires of your heart and not to any negative energy around you.
In her early 40s, Denise decided to pursue adoption as a single woman. With the support of her "tight village" of family, friends, church family and a growing sister circle of Fabulous Adoptive Black (FAB) moms, Denise persevered through the many ups and downs of the unpredictable adoption process and today, her son Luke is her greatest blessing.
Real motherhood. Real transparent. Real unapologetic. Real inspiring (several people in her circle, including couples, have followed her lead).
Mess around and take a listen to Episode 3 and she just might inspire you, too!
