It's my MoB and I"ll MoB how I want to !

So its been a minute, again.. I'm must be the worst blogger ever! Anywho let me feel you in on my recent mobbin. I have had a few people ask/tell me I'm not black enough. What!!!! Hold up,hold up whoa dere! I'm not what enough ? I am who I am. Like I've said before I didn't know you can "act" a color. I'm just me. I was raised a certain way but beside that I choose to open myself up to different things. That makes me not black. I choose to not follow what everyone else deems cool. I don't plan my day around BET programing..what is it?! Sure, I live in the burds and I recycle and compost but I also drive a huge gas drinking SUV. My kids go to public school , I always buy organic and never leave the house without makeup. I have two 12's in my trunk and an amp under the 2nd row seat. What am I ? I mob the only way I know how. I follow me. Its cool though. Some of y'all just ain't ready. I ask a black mom today at the park if she would rock a BGSM t-shirt and she said "hell yeah, I'm not like these other moms out here!" so there you have it. I'm going to continue to MoB the way I wanna Mob!

Mobbin S-L-O-W

Okay, so I'm back! Sorry it took so long had some issues out here in Suburgatory. 1. I had my 5 year old at home with me for an entire week! It was so crazy. 2. My dsl was not working properly and I keep getting kicked off line. 3. I was in a funk. Just down and out not feeling anything, funk. But now I'm back! I've been working hard on getting my t-shirt line completed so you guys can see my amazing ideas and whatnot. I'm not gonna lie my work ethic has not been on point lately. I have so much personal stuff going on that I am somewhat distracted.  My mobbin has slowed way down..not to a screeching halt but a brisk walk. I'm gonna be uploading pictures very soon , just fun stuff arounf my cul-de-sac. And of course I will get into the juicy stuff that makes up my life like duhhhh this a blog! Mobbin slow, but mobbin forward !

Mobbin Ain't Easy

I make it look easy but for real, Suburban Mobbin ain't easy. It takes a special kinda gal to live it up in the 'burbs and still be yourself. Sure I have the manicured lawn and a 2 car garage, but I do it my way. Once you step inside its a whole different ball game. I love all things in what is considered the "alternative" lifestyles. You know indy art shows, spoken word,tattoos,graffiti, unsigned singers,rappers and bands , I love all things non-mainstream. Now don't get me wrong I like mainstream stuff too , but at heart I'm an Indy Girl all day. If I could I would live in an older home in one of those new trendy neighborhoods close to the coffee shops and art studios but... I have children and once you have kids the school zones dictate where you live ! So here I am in the suburbs, baking for PTA bake sales, weekend sleeps overs and still trying to fit in a poetry slam. I know some people give me the side eye because I don't fit the typical black woman molds: bougee, ghetto, all natural, religious buff, uber corporate,or super suburban mom. I'm me, maybe a weird mutant version of them all but still just me. So, I'm off. Got some shopping to do! Loading up the SUV and cranking some Hendrix. Whatch out I'm mobbin hard.
