Balancing College and Motherhood:
My Story of Perseverance
Can you be a great mom and still chase your dreams? The answer is YES—but the journey takes resilience, confidence, and unwavering determination. If you’re a student mom, you’re not alone. I walked this path, and my story is proof that you can overcome obstacles, finish strong, and step into your power.
My Journey: From College Student to Student Mom
When I started college at Auburn University, I had my future mapped out. But life had other plans. I became pregnant and soon developed a blood clot that forced me to leave school and move back home. I went from being independent to relying on my mother for everything. Doubt crept in—could I still graduate? Would my dreams have to wait?
For a moment, I let fear take over. But deep inside, I knew one thing: I wasn’t going to let my circumstances define me.
I took a break, but I didn’t give up. With a determined mindset, I fought my way back, balancing textbooks, work, and raising my son as a single mother. I graduated, proving that setbacks don’t mean failure—they are simply part of the journey.
Fast forward to today—my son is now a freshman at LSU, a living reminder that when we push forward, we create a legacy of resilience.
Empowerment Through Fashion: Rena’s Couture
That experience sparked a deeper mission within me—to empower other women to step into their confidence. I founded Rena’s Couture, a brand that goes beyond fashion.
At Rena’s Couture, we believe:
- Confidence starts from within—but what you wear should reflect that power.
- A bold blazer is more than a fashion statement—it’s a symbol of strength, success, and resilience.
