Photography By: Felecia Causey In the Summer of 2016, I went into my scheduled OBGYN appointment with intense abdominal pain and horror. After several tests I was diagnosed by my physician that there was an abnormal sized cyst on my left ovary. Following my initial surgery for the removal of my cyst, my physician once again found endometriosis spots all over my cervix. After a year of surgeries and the recovering process. My physician uttered to me that “due to how extensive my treatment plan was, my chances of having my own kids were unlikely. I was torn into pieces and felt as if my womanhood was taken from me. After a year of feeling like this a miracle had taken place and made my doctor questioned Science. On April, 14th 2018, I found out I was pregnant.  I knew the risks and I was terribly scared. I was filled with mixed anxious and worried emotions but although all those feelings I was experiencing I somehow just knew that this baby was my miracle baby. I went in

Photography By: Felecia Causey It has been almost five months since I started this journey on October 3, 2019. I am currently a week away from ending chemotherapy. I will always remember that day like it was yesterday. “I am sorry what did you say?”, I remember that playing over and over in my head because I thought I had heard wrong. Matter of fact I knew that I had heard wrong, there is now way she just said, “I am sorry Ms. Colvin, the results did show you have breast cancer.” I didn’t panic at first, I was very numb. The first person I called was my Mom and at that moment the tears began to flow. I called all my immediate family and broke the news to them. I got tired of repeating myself, so I did the most current thing to do, I posted the news on Facebook. I was like I am 37, I am not even at mammogram age yet. I just knew that I was going to die and there was not anything anyone could tell me differently. Mind you, I was not given a poor prognosis, everything was in my fav

Our journey began in 2016, going into our marriage, as we actively and determinedly attempted to conceive the old-fashioned way. Despite six months of buying ovulation tests, pregnancy tests, using over the counter medication and of course laying upside down after intercourse, we were unable to conceive so we figured something was not quite right. We continued our journey by purchasing an at-home sperm fertility checker for Jeremy which the results determined that he was fine, so I scheduled an appointment with my OBGYN which is where I learned that I have stage 4 endometriosis, so getting pregnant naturally, was virtually IMPOSSIBLE. This news was bitter-sweet as we were happy to know exactly what was hindering us from conceiving, but we also knew what faced some challenging obstacles ahead. Two

You may have one person go into depression after the loss of a loved one or a heartbreak and then you may have another who will party until the lights go out.  No one can explain heartache, grief, a loss, or disappointment to you. I am sure many people will tell you how you should or shouldn’t feel. What many don't realize is even though they may have suffered any of these, you can’t judge someone because they don’t get through things the way you may do.  You can’t put a time frame on a person that is hurting. As for myself when I am hurting, I choose to be alone and cope with my problems in my own space, and my own time.  Although some may need or choose to be in the company of others why they face heartache or going through a rough patch in their life. Many friends and family have found themselves getting th

Photography By: Felecia Causey My baby was born perfectly normal. I’ll never forget September 15, 2019, I received a phone call that my baby had experienced SIDS and died in her sleep. The EMTS worked on my baby for 20 minutes. MY BABY WAS DEAD FOR 20 WHOLE MINUTES! God allowed my baby to breathe again. But with her brain being without oxygen for that long my baby suffered very bad brain damage and had 3 strokes in the middle of her brain. She went to Children’s Hospital in Birmingham Alabama and they were bluntly honest with me saying my baby wasn’t going to live. US BEING PARENTS WE NOT HEARING THAT ! We kept faith and when they took my baby off life support ,SHE LIVED AND WAS BREATHING ON HER OWN. I know my baby brain was very sick but I didn’t care. Whatever my baby needed WHATEVER WE HAD TO DO WE WAS GOING TO DO IT ! I know she only could live and go through what she was going through for only so long, BUT AS LONG AS SHE WAS HERE WE WERE GOING TO FIGHT TO THE END,

November 2017, I gave birth to my first child that resHi, I’m ShunDerrica Williams, and I’m here to tell my story. November 2017, I gave birth to my first child that resulted in a stillborn. She was 38 weeks, and 6 days. I went into labor with her, not thinking that once I got to the hospital still in full blown labor that my daughter has passed away. The nurses could not detect a heartbeat, and at that moment a part of me left with her. Her name is Saariya Nevaeh Williams, and she has been deceased for 2 years.   I was battling with severe depression that no doctors, family members, medications could help at the time. I thought it was my fault because I sensed something was wrong, but I honestly got tired of the doctors sending me home. I was in and out of the hospital. I really just had to pray and ask God to heal my broken heart. The friends

Written By Felecia Causey Photography By: Felecia Causey Models: Joey and JaZaria Johnson There are many young women that don’t have the luxury of being a daddy’s girl. It’s heartbreaking that to some that she never had the opportunity to go to a father and daughters’ dance, or have that male figure that  shows up at sporting events. Many men do not realize the effect his absence and present will make one day.  She has her mama, and the mother does an amazing job, but yes dad’s love and time does matter. He will be the first man she will ever love. The person she will look to protect her, even when she doesn't feel like she needs to be saved. She will always depend on him for security. He will be the person who will encourage her to take risks, and be adventurous. Girls tend to make their dad have a soft spot. The hard tough black bear, becomes a soft cuddly teddy bear when it comes to his little princess. The influence of a father on their daughter will have
