Each year for Mother's Day, we focus on the achievement, relationships, and the incredible role that mothers play. Whether these are biological moms, step/bonus moms, mothers-in-law or adoptive moms, there are so many different roles and kinds of relationships that we have with them. The month of May is dedicated to all mothers, and in honor of this, we will talk about the different relationships we can build with our mothers and children.

We recognize the unique role mothers play. Throughout this month, we'll be exploring how we can nurture these relationships and show appreciation to these women who have given so much of themselves to raise and support their children along the way. We also recognize and understand that everyone does not have this kind of relationship with their mom. Some have broken relationships, some were abandoned, some are grieving on Mother's Day every year and most don't acknowledge that these relationships exist. If you are a mother, this is for you. If you're not a mother, you have a mother, and this is also for you. So, join us in celebrating the diverse world of motherhood, and let's honor all the different types of love that make it so special!

Join the conversation with your host Monique and her lovely twelve-year-old daughter, Mariyah, as they kick off The Mother's Day Series. The series will be filled with everything from insightful discussions about motherhood to delightful anecdotes about their relationship, roles, and achievements. We want to appreciate them, and this is the perfect way to honor the special bond between mothers and their children.
