What inspired your most recent tattoo?

The bond between mother and daughter. She’s so much like me, sometimes we butt heads- but I wouldn’t trade her for the world. No matter where life takes her, we will always have our matching ink to feel connected. My 7 year old now wants to join us and get the same tattoo when she turns 18. I think it’s a beautiful tradition in the making! I saw a simple version of this design years ago while standing in line to get lunch- I asked permission to take a pic, and we added to it.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

I have held you close to my heart since the moment you existed. On hard days, I’ll be here to hold you close, catch your tears, and remind you that you are enough. On good days, I’ll be here to hold you close and rejoice with you. I will always be your biggest cheerleader, celebrate your successes, and help you charter choppy water. In a moment of doubt, look in the mirror, close your eyes, and feel my love surround you. No matter how far apart, you’re always in my heart.

What would you do with the $25,000?

This past year has been rough-the end of a decade long relationship, trying to heal from years of toxic behavior, then leaving a job that offered NO work life balance to be present at home. This resulted in a period of unemployment; now I need a reliable vehicle, & want to create the financial flexibility to pursue my Masters in Educational Administration. I want to be a principal or superintendent! This will extend my reach and allow me to impact more young people on a larger scale ❤️
