Yeah - she’s “that” chic! Even her doctors say they want to be like her when they reach her age. The problem is - if you wanna call it a problem - she believes she can do ANYTHING she wants to do - which is probably why I’m taking her to PT right now! We’ll chat about that later but, in the meantime, please know that we will be representing one of the baddest chics on the planet! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623cf9a0cb43bc0415e4aae3/52840ed5-6d04-4ffd-ad89-d70580041444/20220412_123706.jpg Home - ABOUT LULA… Lula James is the woman who raised my mother and her siblings. She and her husband Buddy were both born in the late 1800s and later became sharecroppers. Despite the fact that, as sharecroppers, they did not own the land they worked, they became pretty successful. Aunt Lu (as we called her) and her husband Buddy were never able to have any biological children after suffering several miscarriages. However, they opened their hearts and their home to my mom and her 3 siblings after her parents’ divorce and inability to properly care for them. Because of Aunt Lu and Buddy, my mom, aunt and uncles were given the best life possible! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623cf9a0cb43bc0415e4aae3/8c35920b-80c0-4962-a267-38fa74dbbb3b/20211130_115217.jpg Home By the time I came to remember Aunt Lu, what I remember is this: she was very old and walked bent over in a 45 degree angle (possibly due to osteoporosis but I’ve never known the true cause). Aunt Lu would babysit my cousin and I during summer breaks and, despite her limitations, she still managed to make her bed and cook a meal EVERYDAY. I would sit and watch her bend over the sink and stove as she prepared her meals while cleaning along the way - hunched over! What I remember most is how I felt about her as I watched her do her thing each day. I NEVER saw a woman who was incapacitated, who was hindered by what some may consider a disability. I saw a beautiful, regal woman of strength and courage. I saw those things in her because that’s who she truly was, and I was blessed and proud to be able to say that a part of her lived within me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623cf9a0cb43bc0415e4aae3/bcf23815-0488-46f5-8aef-166e934c853d/IMG_2301.jpg Home - ABOUT LENA… Lena is my bad-ass, 88 year old mom who still prides herself in being able to effortlessly bend down and touch her toes, ride her stationary bike for 1.5 hours and out-walk all of her walking buddies.
