Maybe momification is something to be proud of?

The more I think about it, the more I imagine that Claire Huxtable of "The Cosby Show" is someone who lived what almost all of my friends would call their ideal life situation. She had it all: a successful career that fulfilled her; a husband who had his own successful, fulfilling career; healthy, relatively normal children; and a safe and relatively happy home. It sounds simple, but since the second wave of the feminist movement (1960s-1980s), it has been the ultimate goal of many women to find a fulfilling balance between ones professional and family life. And that balance is extremely difficult to achieve for most of the women I know.

Now, young black women (and all women) have a real life version of Claire Huxtable on the national stage. We love her, and we are waiting to see how the world will receive her, this woman we have all dreamed of being.

I want to link to my friend Mandy's response to my last blog "The Momification of Michelle Obama".

Mandy's Response

She points out some of the amazing things Michelle Obama has accomplished, while also giving her own take on the issue.
