Born into a family of 17 siblings, a large family was all that I knew. I grew up in the cotton fields of Mississippi. When I started my family, I finished with 13 children. I truly am a QUEEN MOTHER.One thing that comes with a large family is a lot of love and not enough money. At the age of 12 years old, I knew I wanted lots of children, but I didn't want them to be raised like I was. Growing up dirt poor, I knew I wanted more than that for my children. At the age of 12 years old, I could pick 200 lbs of cotton in one day, but I made up my mind then... not my children!
