Fabulize Reads: Memories of Mom by Alexia Fraser

Glamorous. Regal. Inspirational; a great mother and a phenomenal daughter. These are just some of the many wonderful things that can be said about author/glamazon, Alexia Fraser. As a young girl, Alexia grew up with the greatest role model in front of her to help shape the woman she was destined to become–a resilient woman whose strength, like her beauty, was a gift from God. A woman whose peaceful spirit, unyielding grace, and faith was a mirror reflection for Alexia to aspire to emulate—none other than her mother, Daphne Monica Spence.

Most women look to their mothers for guidance and strength, while others declare their mothers Wonder Woman.

Women have a tremendous responsibilty of raising children; not to imply that men have it easier, but from conception until a woman dies she remains a mother to her children.

I’m filled with excitement when I think about the positive women I see all the time. My absolute favorite is our First Lady Michelle Obama and my grandmother.

Fraser paints a beautiful tale of her mother growing up in the island of Jamaica that many of us from around the globe can relate to when it comes to our mothers and other positive women we’ve grew up with. Alexia tells us about her personal style and why she felt compelled to write Memories of Mom ( available here).
