The Chronicles of The Emancipated Momma This Is How We Homeless -  An Open Letter to Dreamville Fest  Producers and Artists Chapter 1: The Guts and the Glory Section A: The Guts Continued - An Open Letter to Dreamville Fest ( watch the video instead ) Greetings πŸ‘‹πŸΎ! It's another amazing day in paradise 🀩. I’m guessing you have no idea who I am so please let me introduce myself. But first let me thank you for investing your time in reading or listening to this letter. My government name is Kara Lynn Sanders (brownie points for correct pronunciation if you’re reading πŸ˜‰). My nickname is Kai. And my super s-hero name is Momma Kai because I found my superpowers being the mom and student of a young Black male superhero (YBMS). The name God gave him when I was pregnant is Wisdom and he is my heart beating outside of me. Currently we are Raleigh's most famous unhoused people. We are research assistants for God to understand the perils of poverty, internally and externally. Now that...

This Is How We Homeless - Service

The Chronicles of The Emancipated Momma This Is How We Homeless - Service Chapter 1: The Guts and the Glory Section A: The Guts Continued - Service (Posted to my social media on Saturday, April 5, 2025) Welcome and welcome back ! It's another amazing day in paradise . Thank you for being here. I'm so excited to share the recognition I received from Shaw University Divinity School (SUDS) last night (Friday, April 4). To be completely honest with you, I was so shocked and completely honored to see the title "Outstanding Engagement" because I didn't know what the certificate would say. I don't do things for recognition. I do things to bring change and provide support where I see it's needed. Service is my Love language. It is one of the ways I am able to keep my nervous system regulated. And it really does take guts to show up in service to others when you need so much. One reason why I do it is I feel it's a small way to pay forward all the blessings Wis...

This Is How We Homeless: Panhandling

The Chronicles of The Emancipated Momma This Is How We Homeless - Panhandling Chapter 1: The Guts and the Glory Section A: The Guts Continued - Panhandling Welcome and welcome back πŸ‘‹πŸΎ! It's another amazing day in paradise 🀩. Thank you for being here. Today I want to delve into the topic of panhandling. Yes, Wisdom and I panhandle. I need to say, panhandling is NOT a sign of laziness. It could be a sign of deep desperation, incredible courage and/or unwavering faith. Personally, I hate doing it. So for me, it's a sign of my determination to lead the changes our world needs. Because our needs being met and/or exceeded is a measurement of how compassionate our community is. This video is from the last time we panhandled. I personally call what we do elevated panhandling because we have several signs plus bubbles and stuff to give away. I even have a "commercial" I created playing out of a Bluetooth speaker with a megaphone in front of it to amplify the sound.  (Conti...

The Chronicles of The Emancipated Momma This Is How We Homeless Chapter 1 - The Guts and the Glory Section A: The Guts Welcome and welcome back. It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here. Today I'm going to talk about "the guts", both literally and figuratively. (Please Note: I'm catching up. This was originally posted to my social media one days ago, on Thursday, April 2, 2025.) This pic is of Wisdom's guts, literally. Yes, I know. Gross . But we experience is real life too. Early Wednesday morning his allergies were bothering him so much that he vomited. By early I mean 2:30 in the morning. He woke up mumbling about needing to blow his nose. I knew he was trying to stop a coughing attack but while blowing, it started. He gagged and reached for the door handle. It was the second time he'd done that in less than 8 hours. It's the 3rd year in a row we've experienced it (2023, 2024, 2025) because the pollen count is much ...

This is How We Homeless: Intro

The Chronicles of The Emancipated Momma Book 1: This is How We Homeless  Introduction Welcome and welcome back. It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here.  (Please Note: I'm catching up. This was originally posted to my social media two days ago, on Wednesday, April 2, 2025.) This is the start of a series God has been pressing me to start. But I've been hesitant because one of two things will happen. Either people will LOVE it and they will eventually flock by the thousands to like and share or they will ignore it . Both are terrifying to me But what's more terrifying to me is what I will miss in my relationship with God if I don't trust the reason for Him guiding me to do this. To get started out, there be a pic post with a description. So... here we go! I want to take a moment to talk about being The Emancipated Momma. Most people know the word emancipate because of the Emancipation Proclamation, the document that freed the slaves, but...

Momma Kai for Matriarch

Momma Kai for Matriarch Social Media Super Drop! Welcome and welcome back. It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here. I appreciate your choice to invest your time with me. Life continues to be such a fascinating adventure for Wisdom and I. We continue to face so many challenges while at the very same time be privileged to experience so many incredibly phenomenal blessings.  So... what's next for us is me! It's time! It's my time to step out of the shadows and into the spotlight. Welcome to MY Evolution. It's time to launch my revolution! I have been creating videos for the last month or so and just not posting them.  I am so grateful for technology that allows me to post stuff, kinda like a long form commercial, and get my messages out for people to see.  Because I've sat on my content for so long (and I keep getting thoughts about what to do next), today I've just taken all the stuff and I'm dropping it here at once.  Since ...
