Meet Ebonie Baker

 

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Ebonie Baker a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Ebonie , really appreciate you opening up about a very personal topic with the hopes that it can help someone out there who might be going through it. What can you share with us about your journey with postpartum depression and how you overcame PPD? For readers, please note this is not medical advice, we are not doctors, you should always consult professionals for advice and that this is merely one person sharing their story and experience.

Hello my name is Ebonie Rose Baker, I am known as a Commercial Mortgage Broker. I help Entrepreneurs get Money for their Business. Because I specialize in building everyone up around me to help them better themselves or there business has always been my niche. I have been working since I was 7 years old, started out working with my father and my uncle as a janitor, landscaper, and window washer. Growing up I’ve always had a pretty strong work ethic and a passion for helping others. I am a proud Mother of 5, 3 miscarriages. The 1st one never experiencing the loss of an pregnancy already having 4 kids was traumatizing. I lost the baby at 8 weeks during football season for my boys, car troubles, we were at the end of the season and won State had to travel to another State and ended up passing the baby in another state in the middle of our banquet dinner. Then having to drive back home. I was pretty sad for awhile but I didn’t really experience postpartum that time, over time things got better faster. Then my second miscarriage I had gotten pregnant shortly after a car accident and my body was not strong enough to carry a baby and my lower back is permanently damaged. Over time again was able to recover and work through all the symptoms as normal. While as time is going on my kids are getting older and then starting to have children. Mind you I have been a single Mother this whole time. Well long story shortened 2017 I became friends with my coworker but at the time was strictly a work relationship. 2018 we were hanging out more, he knew I didn’t want a relationship because I had truly enjoyed my job at the time and did not want it to interfere with work. While over the course of the time of course he talked me into many reasons why we should start dating. #1 he always wanted to adopt older kids, but he wanted to have a kid well at the time I’m 37 gonna be 38 with grandkids I didn’t need anymore children. While this man is very convincing I knew, giving him a chance was gonna be risky but he seemed so sincere. My two youngest were at a very fulnerable stage in there teens to where it wouldn’t be fair the age age gap to mother I have to be with a baby mind you a new born. Well after him convincing me we should build our family right after I got pregnant which I did right away, he suggested taking the day after pill then started getting weird about hanging out with his friends. Leaving before dinner, in the middle of dinner and immediately after. I knew our relationship wasn’t gonna last. Mind you our age difference and maturity levels were in two different directions. It wasn’t gonna work. He wanted to be the parents I refused to be. Drinking and smoking with our underaged children. Like oh it’s okay knowing it was not. Well during this pregnancy I was completely afraid not only was I gonna loose my relationship, but my back still wasn’t strong enough to carry a baby. I was in so much pain and lower back pain and pregnancy I was about to be a single mom again at the age of 39. While he grew far away I was a stay at home mom taking care of the family baby remodeling his home to keep busy besides momming, he ended up assaulting me and tried to take our baby full custody while I find out my father has cancer and has less then 6 months to live, the same day he dies he was in court filing more papers. I ended being homeless to finally getting a place while still to this very day dealing with his narcissistic behavior. Him not showing up on Tuesdays to get our baby if she was sick and couldn’t go to daycare. To me getting fired from a job due to attendance from her being sick. He refuses to pay child support but wants me to watch her so he can work overtime. Overcoming this worst baby daddy behavior I ever experienced. I have healed but he still likes poke the bear. Has been the most challenging I started all over I have a toddler while my older children are having their children. Luckily I have been blessed with a very good child she fits right in with the others children and from time to time she is an only child and already an auntie. While God works in his misterous ways they are all a blessing. I go through waves from time to time but while for the very first time I considered suicide I knew I needed to find peace love hope and the things that bring me joy. Right before I got pregnant I knew I was getting into real estate, he also helped me fail my schooling along the way because he didn’t want me to get successful and leave our family which was far from the case. Now I have a business I just started this last year and gonna give this my all and see where it takes me. Post partum depression is real I suggest getting to know the family before you have kids if that option is available lol. And definitely when you see something that is off in a person figure out what it is quickly. Exercise yoga good food and a Bible study has been my meditation journey. Thank you for this opportunity I have a discussion for every topic lol.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

My three strongest qualities are knowing my why: my family, building generational wealth, and loving what I do best customer service. I enjoy seeing others thrive. What’s most important is identifying your niche, your why your purpose. Surround yourself with positive vibes thoughts and people and speak about what stopping you or holding you back so you can thrive and keep going. Don’t give up most importantly on yourself and your children who are watching and listening to you since the womb.🙏🏽
