Why join the Black Moms Network?
I believe that women of all colors should have a place to find peace, comfort, and sisterhood.

I am grateful to see a club of this nature. I am also overjoyed to see so many beautiful faces of color.
How did you find the black moms club?

How many children do you have?
My son, Nicholas. He sees my light even in the dark!
About Me:
Author of In My Mind: The World through the Eyes of Autism", an endearing tale about how a child with autism sees the world... and how the world sees him.

Adonya Wong attended Suffield University in Twin Falls, Idaho where she received a Bachelor’s of Arts in Business Administration.

She began writing short stories and poems at a young age and finds she writes her best through the inspiration of her loved ones. In My Mind: The World through the Eyes of Autism (Tate Publishing, 2008) is her first book. It was pre-released in October 2008 and released worldwide on January 6, 2009.

In My Mind creatively explores, through the form of a children’s picture book, the inner world of an autistic child… the world no one else seems to see. From exciting adventures to silly games and conversations with a range of imaginary friends, the main character of the story, inspired by her son, Nicholas, brings readers into his world to demonstrate how a child with autism sees the world, and, in turn, how the world often sees a child with autism.

Adonya’s primary motivation for writing such a book stemmed from the most basic recognition that there was a scarcity of literature directed to and written for autistic children and their families.

It is her intention, through her work, to encourage readers to want to learn more about the autism disorder. In My Mind was written to help raise awareness about autism, and she hopes that the reader will gain a deeper sense of compassion and tolerance for those “different” than themselves.

When she heads the community-based nonprofit which she founded, M.O.C.H.A. – Mothers of Color for Holistic Alternatives.

Adonya lives in Southern California with her son where she enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, watching classic movies, and curling up with a good book.

A portion of the author’s proceeds benefit various autism organizations in the United States and Canada.

Thank you so much for the kind words- it has truly been 9 months of highs and lows- I'm anticipating the ultimate high as we meet our joy for the first time. I'm supremely interested in learning more about MOCHA- I'm checking out the website as we speak. ;o)

In mommy solidarity,
Lyn

Hey Adonya. Thanks for reaching out to me. I've been homeschooling for 5 years now. It has been a challenge that I am honored to accept. I consider myself to be a guide to my four children. They tell me their interest and I guide them to explore answers. I'd love to chat with you more about the journey. Peace

Hi, my name is Tracy and I am a member of the Black Mom’s Club. I am doing my dissertation on parenting stress and social support among African American mothers. I am inviting you to participate. This is an important study because there’s a lack of studies about our parenting issues and experiences.

To participate you must have a biological child between age of 5-9, married (first time) or single (not divorced or separated) and US Citizen. If husband/mate in the home, he must be biological father of at least one of your children.

Please take a few minutes and complete the entire survey. For completing the survey, you can enter a drawing for a chance to win a $100 Target gift card.

Thanks for your help and support.

Thanks, Adonya! I can't wait to meet her, and was so surprised that a 2D ultrasound could be so detailed.

I'm working on another installment of the Second Life chronicles...lol...I should have something by the end of this week on my site.

Hope all is well (love your playlist, btw)!

Hi Adonya!

I love your name & your hair!
Do your thing my sista.
I'm glad you started a Holistic Non-Profit.
We need more awareness in our community.
I help Non-Profits generate consistent monthly income for their cause, so let me know if you need assistance in that area & I will be glad to share more details with you.

Hello Adonya,

Thank you for the invite. I too have a son with special needs (Down Syndrome). It's challenging, but oh so rewarding as well. Let me know if you ever come to OKC, maybe we could meet. I have a brother-in-law in Owasso.

God Bless.

Melvina

What an amazing concept this is.



This way-cool mom from VA started this organization this summer, and she's already seeing some of the fruits of her labor.



Not only is she helping Spectrum families in need, she's also doing her part in spreading awareness that autism is TREATABLE.



I know. Moms, like me, don't like to think of autism as an illness, but it is. Our children were fine, and then something happened.… Continue

Traveling Down the Road to Autism Recovery

I know it isn't my fault. I didn't cause my son's autism, but that doesn't stop me from, occasionally, feeling a bit guilty.



In order to heal myself on this road to recovery and since I'm more prone to be online than not, I decided to start journaling. I've bypassed the paper journal and pen, and opted for the instant gratifying online version better known as blogging.



We are all united through autism. Sharing our… Continue

How "healthy" is your car seat?

As parents, we're always looking for a better way to keep our children healthy. We worry about a variety of things... the air they breathe, the clothes they wear, the food they eat, etc.



When was the last time you thought about their car seat?



Every day, we transport them in these modern wonders. Thanks to the folks at Ecology Center, we can learn more about any harmful chemicals that find their way into their car seats.



I'll admit it has been years since… Continue
