“A black married mother, who works”

Rita,

I chose a black married mother, who works because I am. A lot of people do not know what it is like to be married and be able to juggle a job while having kids. I am law-enforcement so that is a very stressful job. Not to mention I am in college full-time which is another stressful job and I am a mother of five kids, which is the most stressful part of all so being a wife on top of all of that just makes it a little bit harder because you have to maintain my household for your family on top of everything else.

She changed clothes in our basement.

When I was a young girl my mom was a working mom (nurse) and we had a cleaning lady, Essie Mae, come in every Saturday to clean. I recall she was paid $7.50 ‘and car fare.’ I used to beg Essie Mae to use my bedroom to change into her working clothes, but she would not do it. She tried to quickly change in our (busy) basement. I never understood why.
