TANNA SPEAKS ON PURSUING HER PURPOSE Tanna Abraham By: Mashonda & Blaine Way

Who am I?

Author Tanna Abraham found herself pondering on this question when her life changed abruptlyat the onset of the pandemic. Tanna M. Abraham a self-confessed “Island Girl” born in Dominica, West Indies, raised in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands served as a Regional Program Manager for a Youth Development Organization, President of the PTF (Parent Teacher Fellowship) at her son’s school and was very active in church, serving as an associate minister. Any free time she had was spent on play dates or other activities. Tanna’s life was very busy, and she even recalls letting her titles and activities define her. It wasn’t until they were taken away that she realized they weren’t reflective of who she was. God always finds a way to sit us down when he wants us to listen. Sometimes it’s in that moment that we find out that what we've planned for ourselves doesn’t align with the path he's set for us. Tanna understood this and she knew that she had work to do.

"FOLLOW YOUR PASSION AND YOUR PURPOSE WILL FALL IN PLACE" -MW It took some time with herself and soul searching to get to a place of freedom and to truly begin pursuing her purpose. From there, she revamped her organization, Women On Purpose Inc. and started a podcast, but she realized that those were only the beginning of the work that she was meant to complete. Eventually she decided to pick up the book she had started writing four years ago. That's when everything started to come together. For Tanna, this time around felt different,she was on a mission to finish what she had started, and she did. Tanna replaced some of her old titles, with new ones that gave her purpose and drive. She followed her heart, and now she is empowering others to live purpose-filled lives by finding meaning and hope in the face of daily challenges. WayToParent Magazine had the honor of sitting down with Author Tanna and discussing her road to self- discovery and her future plans.

C

an you tell our readers more about your book and what you think sets the book apart? I’m really excited about my book, it’s my first. The book is titled, Hey Mom, Remember to Take Care of You. It releases on April 16th and can be purchased on Amazon or through my website at tannaabraham.com. In the book I share important lessons that I’ve learned throughout my parenting journey. I must admit, the book was hard to write at times because it required me to take myself to some very hard times in my life that I didn’t want to revisit. As hard as it was, I’m glad I did it. The highs and lows of my story are filled with so many lessons that I am continually embracing in my future and I’m sharing with others in this book. I was able to get really creative with this book. It has an interactive schedule which includes 1 day for reading, 5 days for journaling, and 1 day for introspection with coloring pages.

BEYOND SURIVING Thriving & Flourishing

is getting out of my own way. Oftentimes, I can be my own worst enemy. When I was approaching the end of the book, I felt like I had to drag myself across the finish line. I was having this internal battle with myself, wondering if the book was good enough. Would people even buy it? I had to push through those thoughts daily. Secondly, I would say have a support system around you. When I was discouraged, frustrated and even scared, I had a group of people around me encouraging me, holding me accountable and keeping me lifted. I wouldn’t be releasing this book if it wasn’t for their love and support. Lastly, don’t quit. After writing the book, I had a horrible publishing experience. I knew I came too far to quit but I was emotionally and physically exhausted. Each day I would cry, then wipe my tears and continue my battle. Sometimes you have to readjust your strategy and that’s okay, just don’t stop. Someone is waiting for you and what you have to offer.

T

alk about your biggest failure you've had, and what you learned from it? Honestly, I don’t think failure exists, just poor decisions and missed opportunities of which I have tons. I think the biggest is quitting too soon. There were many times in my life where I slowed down, dumb myself down and even quit. I allowed people’s opinions of me to discourage me and hinder me from moving forward in my purpose.

7

it wasn’t meant to be, that’s far from the truth. Life is a journey filled with many ups and downs but from it a beautiful testimony arises. Lastly, I learned that everyday I wake up is another opportunity to start again. .

W

hat's next for you? What’s Next? For so long I didn’t take the time to enjoy the moments in life because I was always asking that question. I’m trying to do better at enjoying where I am, celebrating the wins, assessing the opportunities for growth and just living in the moment. I’m also embracing my journey, empowering others through my podcast and my organization which is my passion. I will say that I am in the process of writing another book which I hope to release in October.

A

licia Meeks never imagined that she would form a blended family of her own someday. However, despite Alicia’s previous marriage, becoming a blended family was a struggle but the outcome became more beautiful than she could have ever imagined. As a single mother raising one daughter, her life changed completely when she married her husband Kevin Meeks, who had two boys of his own. They knew that their story could help other families so they started a podcast, The Family Dynamics, which gives other parents the tools to help them sort through the trials of blending a family.

W

hile Alicia and Kevin have the podcast together, they also support each other in their individual ventures as well. Building such a foundation between the two of them, inspired their oldest children to have the courage to start their own businesses as well. Their daughter has her Mink Eyelash company and their oldest son has a shoe resale business called Verified Sneakers. Alicia and Kevin have found balance in parenting their children together, and Alicia was excited to share their story with WayToParent Magazine.

WayToParent Magazine

With being a single parent of 5+ years while also juggling school, how did you manage it all? What was your process? Well what drove me while I was pursuing my Masters degree —while also going through a divorce— was the fact that during that time my daughter’s father and I had a certain lifestyle that we lived and I wanted my daughter to still experience that. She was in private school and I wanted to live in a good community but I also knew that I couldn’t afford that on my own, with my salary alone and my bachelors degree. So that was the driving force, to provide for my daughter and not have to downgrade our lifestyle. Having a great support system was what truly helped me to pursue my masters degree while working and being a full time single mom. During that time, unfortunately my mom died, but my mom along with another good friend of mine helped watch my daughter while I was in night school. Having that type of support is what pushed me to be able to give my daughter everything I wanted her to have.

“HAVING A GREAT SUPPORT SYSTEM WAS

hillat.

WHAT TRULY HELPED ME TO PURSUE MY MASTERS DEGREE WHILE WORKING AND BEING A FULL TIME SINGLE MOM.” What were some of the struggles that came along with becoming a blended family? How did you guys get through the triumphs? Being a blended family definitely has its own unique struggles and it still has its struggles even though we are kind of over the hump with our two oldest. With the court dates and trying to battle with custody of both my husband’s sons, it was a fight worth fighting. I think what allowed us to get over a lot of the difficult situations was that we would not disagree in front of the children as best as we could. When it came to the disagreements or opinions on how we were going to parent the children we definitely made sure we had a unified front. We aren’t perfect but overall we tried our best to have a unified front and come together and communicate about how we were going to parent our children. Was gaining the respect of your bonus sons difficult when you married their father? How did you handle “the test”? I’ll say it was two folds. Initially when my sons first met me, when I was dating their father, they latched onto me. At that time they seemed to really like me. I would say once their mothers found out that I was around and that their father was dating was when their behaviors toward me changed. I remember one day my oldest son started calling me mom out of the blue and the next thing I know my youngest followed behind him. I’m not sure what was said but after the mothers found out their father was dating, the next weekend my son came back home and he was calling me Ms. Alicia. I was like, “WOW, you don’t have to

call me Ms. Alicia, you can just call me Alicia because I never told you to call me mom that was something that you did.” So I would say it definitely had it’s tests but in the end it was worth it. Now that you have mastered coparenting and are passing your knowledge on to other families, what’s next for you? We will be launching our coparenting planner which will allow parents to have a full parenting agreement that they can turn into the court to be given as an order if they complete the worksheet entirely. The planner also walks them through the steps of the process, it gives them definitions and different tips on how to communicate with the alternative parent. Alicia and Kevin Meeks aren’t the only blended family that has had their share of trials but they are certainly making it possible for them to be the last. With their podcast, the Family Dynamic, they are coming together to speak on co-parenting and family as a whole.They don’t stop there, Alicia and Kevin will interview and speak to other parents who come from blended families and help guide others to the victory of being a blended family. We wish the Meeks continued success make sure to follow their journey on their social media.

CARYN WARD ROSS TALKS FAMILY & BUSINESS

T

here is something about Caryn Ward Ross that makes a person immediately feel comfortable when in her presence. Her charismatic personality and welcoming smile has the tendency to not only draw people in but make them feel as if they have known her forever. Most know her from her roles in the TV series “The Game”, “Monogamy”, and “Motives”. Not only is she an actress, writer, and producer, she is also a mother and wife, two titles which she places high value on.

C

aryn is a mother of 2 precious girls and wife to director Craig Ross Jr., who she co-produces alongside. Between work and their personal life she and her husband stay busy, but they always make time to

“PART OF MY VISION AND MY MISSION IN LIFE IS TO BE AN INSPIRATION FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE OUT THEIR OWN

DREAMS” enjoy their family. Caryn sat down in an interview with WayToParent Magazine where she gave an inside look into her family life, work life, and her newest projects.

So, what’s your secret? As a parent with such a hectic schedule, how do you manage it and stay sane while doing it? Caryn: It’s really hard. Our careers require a lot of hours. Sometimes we’re working 12 hour days. So fortunately, we have our mothers that can come in and help. We have a nanny that will also come in and support us. But the biggest is family, because not all the time we can have a nanny especially during these Cvd19 times. cCan people afford a nanny, especially in these Corona times, really about a village. For me personally, I have to take time out for Mommy me time, which is where my tea line mediteation. So, I’m constantly with a tea mug in my hand because it’s really my centering grounding moment. I think it is really important to replenish your Cup. No pun intended because you can’t keep pouring and you don’t pour into yourself. How do you make time for yourself? Caryn: Usually what that looks like for me is starting out in the morning doing my journaling,my meditation, my prayer time before the kids get up so that I can just feel okay within myself. So often as parents,we are just giving, giving and giving. And for the fathers in particular, a lot of times you guys don’t give yourself permission to take that time for yourself. As a woman, it’s kind of acceptable. She’ll go off a journal or she’ll go off and pray and meditate. But a lot of times we don’t encourage our men and our fathers to take that same “me-time”. So that’s really important. I even have to remind my husband, like, babe, you got to take some time for you because you get caught up. Daddy hood, mommy hood, work, making money, paying bills, and then you end up depleted. So it’s a balancing act. It’s a journey. I don’t have it all figured out. I’m still figuring it out, but it’s a process. So let’s talk about mommyhood. What are the things that your daughters feel like only mommy can do? Caryn: Oh, Wow! That’s a great question, usually it’s dance class. I take my daughters to dance class. So they want mommy. My daughters and I grew up with this thing called growing pains. I don’t know if some of you all may know what that is, but anyway, your joints ache at night. It’s a painful thing. It’s a childhood thing. So when that happens, they want mommy. So oftentimes I’m up in the middle of he night. I have one daughter, that’s three and one daughter who’s eight. Caris and Camryn are my girls, and so they want mommy for that. Anytime they hurt, anytime they’re not feeling well, they want the warmth of mommy. But their father, my husband, is very hands-on.

COVER STORY

WayToParent Magazine




“MY BIGGEST SUCCESS IS BIRTHING MY TWO CHILDREN” Do you have any advice for our working parents, on making the most out of the time that you have with your children? Caryn: The only thing I can offer for all of us is to be present in the moment, being intentional about creating moments that are meaningful and memorable. I’m really big on trying to create positive memories for my children, so even if that’s around Easter, like, decorating the house extra special or baking Easter cookies. We also go to the dollar store and get a bunch of dollar store decorations. It’s little stuff like that that they can just implant in their mind when they grow up. Like, ‘remember when Mommy and Daddy did blank?’ So I think that as working parents, those who are strapped for time, it’s about the quality and the meaning of the moment that you are able to create. It’s hard, especially because, and I’m sure you can relate, if I am yelling at my kids or getting frustrated with them, that doesn’t feel good to anybody. I don’t want to be all day yelling when you don’t even see them a lot of the time. So it’s really hard. It’s challenging. There’s no handbook. You’re correct parenting doesn’t have a handbook. How are you preparing your children for life, and the real world? Caryn: With the proliferation of social media andsex and just music, everything going on. It’s really, really hard to preserve the innocence of the children. And so, my husband and I implemented this thing on Saturdays. Now with our eight-year-old daughter Caris, we have her studying kid entrepreneurs, kids her age, maybe a couple of years older that

have started little businesses, whether it’s a cookie business or a vending machine business, or even a lemonade stand just to try to gear her mind and focus towards working for yourself. We teach our kids to bring their ideas and gifts into the world. Because, you know, our parents’ generation, they worked for other companies. They worked for other people. A lot of us build other people’s dreams. And part of my vision and my mission in life is to be an inspiration for people to live out their own dreams. So, I have to do that by first doing it myself. And then also my goal and my husband’s goal, our goal is to kind of narrow and implement that for our girls so that they can create their own path. With everything that you’re balancing right now, what does a typical day for you look like? Caryn: Like, well, that’s a great question. It varies. It goes through seasons when we’re filming, like, shooting the show is very hectic. It’s very go! I’m up at 4 AM or 5 AM because I have to be on set filming. So I have to make sure that the kids are okay in terms of school. Like, for example, for our season three, we shot that in an entirely new state. So we’re in New Mexico for several months. So I have to get my kids acclimated to living in a new state, a new home. They’re not with their friends. So it’s challenging, especially for my youngest, my three year old. She was very clingy, wanting mommy all the time, naturally, as she should at that age. So it was very difficult.

COVER STORY

What would you tell an entrepreneur who is feeling discouraged? Caryn: You actually need to think about, why am I doing this? And what do I want? And then if I want it, whether it’s to be an actor, whether it’s to write a book, whether it’s to be a parent or get married or whatever your dream is, it’s getting real clear on what do I want? Why do I want it? And then excavating all the beliefs, all the naysayers, whether it’s you saying it to yourself or your family or your culture telling you that you can’t. It’s like constantly removing all that garbage out so that you can actually do what you were put on this planet to do. So that’s really what’s underneath the tea company. One thing I want to share with the WayToParent audience is something you and I were talking about, that being a parent is a wonderful gift and opportunity and responsibility. We owe it to ourselves and to our children to live out our lives, and deliver our gifts. And I know that can be scary for some people. Some people don’t know what that is anymore. I’m on a mission to invite mothers and fathers to reconnect with their lost or forgotten dream. Even if you can’t do it to the degree that you would like, what is something you could start implementing. Now, I don’t want anyone to go into blaming or shaming themselves. Like, I’m not a good parent now because I’m not following my dream. That’s not it at all. You can still be wonderful parents, even if you aren’t living your dream or following it. And the beauty of having another breath another year is that we can grow. We can constantly change, right? We can constantly open our minds, be like a parachute, and have new ideas come in. So that’s the journey of Parenthood. A lot of people have also used this time to accomplish their goals. What is a goal that you have accomplished during the pandemic? Caryn: I did launch MediTEAtions my Tea Line during the Pandemic for the specific purpose of finding moments of connection, because the very nature is really about sitting down, slowing down. It’s

got so many health benefits. It’s not very expensive. So it’s a way for my husband and I to connect; that’s one way that we build connection as a husband and wife. And it’s also used for mommy daughter time. So it’s something my girls look forward to. They’ll say, “Mommy, can you make your mommy tea?” So it’s finding those unique things for your own family that’s building something. Maybe it’s watching a movie together. How did you come up with the tea idea? Did you always, like, make it? Like when you were a little girl growing up, grandma made tea, mom made it and it’s like, I just want to make a tealine? Caryn: I’ve always loved tea, what you said is exactly it. I always grew up with tea in the house. There was a tea for everything. tea for sore throats, stomach ache, tea for this, and basically everything. And I love meditation. I grew up with this idea of using the power of your thoughts to create the life you want. I think it’s been said that prayer is when you talk to God, and meditation is when you listen. So I teach my children the art of being still, finding gratitude and listening to the still small voice within. I had this idea of taking tea and meditation and putting it together as a medi-TEA-tion, a liquid meditation experience. What’s next for you? Caryn: Craig Ross Jr’s “MONOGAMY”.

CHARLETTA DENISE BEATING ALL ODDS By: Desmonae Flowers

W

oman, Entrepreneur, Mother of Seven, Domestic Violence Survivor; Charletta Sanders is a force to be reckoned with if anyone counted her out they were sadly mistaken. Born and raised in Johnston County as the baby of her mother’s church-going family, she describes her home life as a dark place because of the abuse from her biological father, which was inflicted on her, her mom, and her siblings.

T

he abuse caused her defense to be up, resulting in her school life being riddled with fights and suspensions, ultimately landing her in alternative school. She had a shield up and trusted no one. She found an outlet in track and field. It was the one thing where she could be free of everything and anything that was going on in her life. Even though her mother was a great provider, her relationship with her mother was not the best. She made sure to dress them up nice but on the inside, they were broken. She compares her life to living like the Cosby’s to the outside world but in the home, they were living like the Jackson Five. There was not an openly communicative relationship where she could talk to her mother about things that she felt, needed, or thought. Thankfully her grandmother was her safe haven where she could feel love, comfort, communicate, and pray. She taught Charletta how to pray because she was so diligent in praying and calling out names and speaking into existence what would happen in the future.

T

he dysfunction that she saw in her family began to seem normal to her which set the tone for many years of her life. At a young age, she started being sexually active and having children. Charletta soon became homeless with three children, sleeping at different places and eventually residing in a housing authority home with no carpet. During this time she was pregnant with her fourth child, unfortunately by someone she had no relationship or feelings for. Her life was continuing to go backward. She needed to figure things out, but she didn’t know what to do.

E

ventually, she began to get herself together and was able to come off of the housing authority and start rebuilding. It was at that time that she met her second husband.“We never had a dating stage, we just used to deal with one another and then it was let’s get married,” Charletta recalls. She thought, As a mother of 4 children, with all of these things going on why not marry this man in the military that I went to school with. Of course everything that looks good isn’t good and everything that we think is good isn’t good.

S

adly after moving to Fort Bragg with her husband Charletta was staying in a 1 bedroom hotel with her four children when she realized that her husband was a runner. She was pregnant with her 5th child and her husband was in and out of her life, while also being mentally, emotionally, verbally, and physically abusive. She realized that she was living the life of her mother, the same life that she was running away from. Even though the pictures she posted on social media looked beautiful she was living in her own personal hell being drained and dying on the inside. In a seven-year marriage there was cheating throughout the entire time.

I

n 2019 Charletta started going to therapy because she was depressed, had lost so much weight, and had suicidal thoughts due to the downward spiral of her marriage. Charletta knew for a while that this is not what God had for her but this was the turning point in her life because she knew that she had a calling and a purpose. Her prayers began to

change in her prayer closet, she became a prayer warrior accessing what she needed to do and be as a woman and mother. She recalls being strangled at 3AM one morning, and as she was getting three broken ribs her soul cried out because there were no words that she could utter as she fought throughout the whole ordeal. That was her final straw and even though she wanted to make her marriage work she

“PEOPLE SAY ALL THE TIME YOU DON’T LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE SEVEN CHILDREN AND I RESPOND TO THEM WITH, “WHAT DOES A WOMAN WITH SEVEN CHILDREN had to figure it out for her and her children. It wasn’t easy, and there were a lot of rough nights, trials and tribulations but she made it through.

A

fter going through a tumultuous and dark place she felt alone and didn’t have any friends to check on her. While in her prayer closet she got a word from God and he spoke and said the words, “Cover My Sisters’’. It shocked her at first after googling the name no name coincided with that business. She realized in her talk with God that this organization would allow her to cover women in their seasons of brokenness. She began to feed the homeless, service domestic violence survivors and have conferences which fully allowed her participants to be themselves.

I WAS ABLE TO HAVE AN AMAZING INTERVIEW WITH CHARLETTA ONE OF HER FEW QUOTES THAT STUCK WITH ME WAS

D

o you think that your children push you even when you want to quit? Absolutely, I tell people all the time that my children are my saving grace. I take them so they can learn and so they can see everyone needs help sometimes. In 2020 I was in a dark place where I was plagued with thoughts of suicide and as I walked past their room after a breakdown and speaking to God I knew that I didn’t want them to wake up knowing their mom had taken her lif, and they weren’t enough for her to stay here and keep going. I begged God to change my mentality and let me get through, be a better person because He gave me these children and they are a blessing and I have to win. Even when the devil would try to remind me that I would never get ahead, I would always be stuck in that place, I knew better so I would get up every morning and say it’s not worth it. I also decided I wasn’t going to hell. Even when my heart was heavy and I couldn’t sleep I wrote to keep my mind busy. I teach my kids the importance of having their own money and having their own, you don’t have to work for anybody My goal was to build my own and to build my empire. God said “You should have life and have it more abundantly.” Every day is something new. My kids are all tall and in sports and I want my children to come from a healed mom and I had to push through, be healed, do the work, go to counseling and go to church and even though I fell I chose to get up. I will always choose to get up and stay up. When I go speak, or feed the homeless my kids go with me and they love to do it, and when I’m gone my children will be able to build and uphold the business.

W

hat advice would you give to single mothers that want to start a business or they are going through similar circumstances? Do what you can do, you would rather lay down and know that you tried rather than never trying and not knowing what that idea could be. You had a dream and goal before you had children. In Jeremiah, it tells us that we had a purpose before he formed us in our mother’s womb and we all have a purpose at birth and you have to go back to that. If God has given you something, he has already provisioned it and he has the funds for it; there are no limits with him. Everything that I want I labor and he has plenty of money we don’t have to live mediocre. He has a land full of milk and honey. I can’t look defeated because if I look defeated then how does God get the glory because it shows that God is not real and he doesn’t get the glory. So if he said it in his word then why do I have to look like what I have been through? I know who I serve and these children represent me and I refuse to let them or me walk around looking stressed and drained?.

W

hat events does Cover my Sisters plan and host? We have conferences. Last year we did a Daddy Issue conference so we brought forth different issues that were big in the community. We share different testimonies and stories that women battle with whether it be domestic violence, daddy issues, or soul ties. I did a conference for young girls called the XO Latte conference where we talked about homosexuality and having sex at a young age. We also mentor young girls and provide workshops. We go into youth centers such as YMCA and host workshops for young women and men to talk about things that are going on in their lives and homes. A lot of the time you’ll see things going on at school but a lot of those things come from home. I know for me a lot of the things I was doing in school was a carryover of things that happened in the home environment. I also feed the homeless. I love to cook! I don’t just pick up food, I cook it myself. I give them full-course meals, home cooked meals, because I want them to know and feel the love that I put into it. Even in this time, I don’t have it to give myself but God provides. I ask and I receive! He opens that door.
