She is...

MARCH 14, 2023

Oh that’s Jordan's mom. I was called Jordan’s mom for years, then I got married and became LeMont’s wife. I haven’t been just Ta’Mara in over a decade. Then one day I decided to figure out who am I?. Who is she? I’ve been a a fashion designer, a seamstress, and when my mother died I was known as Claudia’s daughter, because not too many of my family member’s called me by my first name. It was very interesting to see how people who haven’t seen me in years face’s light up when someone would say “ You know that’s Claudia’s daughter.” Hilarious to say the least. But all those titles and not often was I just Ta’Mara. One day I blinked and didn’t know who Ta’Mara was.

Have you ever gone through a season in life when you forgot who you were because of all the things and titles you were to everyone else? I’ve gone through that season. I finally looked in the mirror and asked myself “Who is SHE is?” outside of all the titles and things. and I couldn’t answer. I prayed for God to reveal me to me. And honnnneeyyy it was not cute, not even a little bit! She was tired, overstimulated, angry, grieving, and just existing. God then led me to read and tap into Proverbs 31. Y’all know her, the wife worth more than rubies. I did not feel like that. So I read and studied it again. I was taken back to a conference I attended years ago when a pastor prayed over me. The prayer was that one day I would not only realize that I was a Proverbs 31 Woman, but also see myself as one. Then to a conversation with my bestfriend. I can’t remember exactly how the conversation went with my best friend but I do remember going scripture to scripture with her and telling how I do each of the things listed. Waking up early, providing for my family(it was just me and Jordan at the time), working full time, going to school, making clothes, being wise with my money etc… As I re-visit that moment and all the pride and confidence that I felt, I got sad. Because the season I’ve been in the confidence and pride is gone. And when I took it back to God, He was like "what do you think a Proverbs 31 is now?” Y’ALL!! I couldn’t answer. I COULD NOT ANSWER. Why?

Because I didn’t believe I was her anymore. Then I was reminded by my best friend and another dear friend who I was. and babbayyyeee!

She IS loving, hardworking, beautiful, wise, giving, fearless, kind, strong and creative. She is me! I am She. and She is You too. If you have forgotten about yourself over the years because of your titles and roles, it’s time to figure out who you are again and embrace every piece of her!
