With stories from her experiences through pregnancy, labor, and motherhood, and lessons learned as a mother at twenty-two, Oh Sis, You're Pregnant! focuses on the common knowledge Black pregnant mothers should consider when having their first baby. It also shares topics beneficial to pregnant Black women on their second, third, or fourth born.

• Do I financially plan for my birth?
• Can I maintain my relationship and friendships during motherhood?
• Will I self-advocate for my rights in a world that already views me as less than?
