“My focus was to heal from a lot of the pain” -Njeri Maldonado

Today we are joined by Njeri Maldonado, she is not a widow but at an early age, she already experienced grief from a relationship with her mother. Njeri Maldonado is a New Orleans, Louisiana native who loves to spend time with good friends and family while eating good food. She has practiced law for nearly fifteen years and currently serves as a judge.

Njeri authored Mama Didn’t Raise This Woman to share her story with other motherless children as encouragement for them to recognize their greatness despite their circumstances.
