"It’s my and my partner's hometown, so all of our family is here. We were both in NYC prior, but realized it would possibly be better to move back to DC to raise our children and I think we made the right decision. Lots of family and community love."
Fare Well. My whole family loves it. Also Sticky Rice, which has really amazing vegan sushi. There’s also many cool shops, like Shopkeepers for cool imported snacks and other items, Grounded plant shop, and my childhood favorite, Eastern Market on the weekends."">
"I grew up in DC with all of my family. I didn’t have any siblings, my household was just my mom and I. We were pretty close and did a lot together. My mom had a wanderlust, which led me to being able to travel a lot as a child. I’m also very grateful to have been raised with my family in DC pre-gentrification. It’s really sad to see how much my hometown has changed and how many people were pushed out. Many small businesses closed for condominiums."
Art Mom Project is a community and platform to highlight a spectrum of mothers and their journey. I wanted a space to place everyone and all the resources that I have found helpful during my motherhood journey."">
"Pre-pandemic me time was being able to go places. I never really got to go anywhere because I was always with my kids, but when I had the chance I would hop to it. It’s important for mothers, especially new mothers, to have time to themselves. Those first few days, months, and years are extremely taxing. I was also breastfeeding two for 2 years, so I never had any time for myself ever. Self-care during the pandemic is being able to have a day in the weekend to myself."
