My name is SheKeena Taylor—I’m a mother of three, a nurturer, a creative, and a woman who has spent years pouring into her family with unwavering love and sacrifice.

Two years ago, my husband and I made a mutual decision: I would step away from my career to stay home and care for our toddlers full time. I embraced that role with everything I had—raising our children with intention, love, and presence.

Now, in the middle of a painful separation, he’s trying to use that sacrifice against me.

I’ve recently been served with court papers. In just one week’s notice, I’m expected to show up prepared to defend my right to:

• Keep primary custody of my children

• Maintain the home that’s solely in my name

• Protect my peace and mental well-being

He is requesting full custody, access to the home I own, both cars (which are in his name), and is even asking the court to make me pay for his legal fees—all while I’ve been the one holding everything together emotionally and financially for our family for years.

I was a married single mother.

Now I’m a single mother fighting back—with nothing but my voice, my truth, and my God.
