About Black Belt Mama
About Black Belt Mama (Blog Writing Course Instructor)
“Most karate moms just do the commute; this one is working towards her black belt.”
I am a 30-something forever 29 year old work at home Mom. I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in English Writing, Creative Nonfiction. I worked for a small literary journal as an Assistant Editor, at Clinique cosmetics (because the pay was better), at a graphic design firm, and as a high school English teacher before having my first daughter and deciding to stay at home. A few years later, I started my first blog “Black Belt Mama.”
One day I got an email asking me, “Why is your blog so engaging? Why is mine so much the opposite.” I took a look at his blog, emailed him a response, and was then cajoled into teaching this course. It’s been exciting to watch students take the course and create amazing blogs.
