00:00What I love about my mom is that she believes in the power of prayer.
00:03She's always quick to say a prayer for me because of her prayers.
00:08I am the woman that I am today.
00:12I love my mom because my girl is a true way maker.
00:18I mean, just a beautiful queen.
00:20She flows through life so graceful with such poise.
00:24My baby is the juice and the squeeze, okay?
00:26My mother don't play about me and she always has my front, my back, and my side.
00:32And I'm so grateful to have her in my life.
00:35And what I love about being a mom is the joy that my son brings me.
00:39And I love how excited he gets when I walk through the door.
00:42The thing that I love the most about my mom is that she's super talented.
00:45Like, she does it all.
00:47She does everything from spitting poetry to writing books to interior design.
00:53And I'm telling you, my girl slays in each and every one of them.
00:56One thing that I really love about my mom is just her warmth.
00:59She's a retired nurse, so she knows how to make people feel comfortable around her.
01:03Mom, thank you for always having the best listening ear, the best advice,
01:08and always there to help me work through my problems.
01:12What I love most about my mom is she taught me that my self-esteem can never solely be based
01:18on what I see in the mirror.
01:20But what is inside is what really sets me apart and what no one can compete with.
01:25My mother is still, to this day, as old as I am, still about her children.
01:33And being a mother, I understand so much more what my mother goes through, have gone through,
01:40have fought for, have stood for on behalf of her children.
01:44My mother is one of my best friends and one of my closest confidants.
01:49It's been really incredible to watch my mom mother me as I learn how to mother.
01:57One of my favorite things of my masterpiece of a mom is her ability to reach people's hearts
02:04in a way that heals them and empowers them.
02:07The thing I love about my mom, my mama, Julia McBride Bibby, is her heart.
02:12She is the most giving, compassionate, incredible human being.
02:17My absolute favorite thing about my mom is her tenacity to go after anything she wants
02:22in life.
02:23And as a mom of three, my favorite thing about being a mom is just witnessing these three
02:29different personalities grow into being individuals.
02:33I am the mother to a four-year-old son named Langston.
02:37He's curious.
02:39He's musically inclined.
02:41Loves to dance.
02:42Loves a good, uh, good bop, a good toe-tapper.
02:46Mother dear, Dr. Antoinette Wilson, you are the greatest mother for me and Seth, obviously.
02:56But I appreciate you for so many reasons, obviously for bestowing education as one of
03:01the hallmarks of life going to me.
03:03One thing that I love about my mom is that she's hilarious.
03:07And then something that I love about being a mom is just like the adoration in their eyes
03:11when they see me.
03:12One thing I love about my mom is that no matter the obstacle, she gave me the tools and tactics
03:18to power through life and journey.
03:21What I love about my mom is her commitment to actualizing every dream, vision, and goal
03:28she's ever had for herself.
03:30What I love most about my mom is her unwavering faith in God.
03:35And through the highs and lows of life, she stays ten toes down.
03:38My favorite thing about my mom is that she always got my back.
03:43Like, she always has my back.
03:45This is my absolute favorite picture of my mom.
03:51The greatest thing about her was her strength.
03:53There's so many things that I could say about my mother, about how she would, when she would
03:59walk into a room, she would light it up.
04:01She was just an amazing woman.
04:04My mother's name was Esther, but she died when I was 17 years old.
04:08Unfortunately, after 20-plus years, the memories start to fade, so there are days where I don't
04:14remember her voice or her scent.
04:18But the one thing I will never forget is her smile.
04:22As a mother of three girls, I only hope and pray that I could give them a fraction of what
04:29she gave me.
04:30Happy Mother's Day, Mom.
04:31Love you.
04:32Happy Mother's Day, Mom.
