I agree with this statement. Her home is nice, clean and organized. But there are areas of “the projects” in some cities where there may be a lot of gun violence and gang activity. Where your children can’t even go outside for fear that they might get shot by a stray bullet. It then becomes a matter of “where you live”.
Your home is so clean and organized. There are people living in mini mansions who don't keep their homes as nicely as you do. Your attitude is everything. I really enjoyed your tour. It opened my mind to seeing how attitude makes a world of difference. I know a family living in a very similar style and size townhouse, and all they do is complain about wanting more and trashing the place. It truly is all about HOW you live. ❤
Yes her attitude is beautiful and commendable. Definitely admirable and gave me awesome ideas and things to aspire to, both physically and mentally. Now I need to go buy a new shower curtain asap lol😅
Agree 100 percent. I need to stop complaining-I need to be more grateful and appreciate my home-no matter how old my appliances are-it’s not important! It’s a healthy mind set to be grateful and humbled. ❤🫶🏼🙏🏼✨
Your joy is contagious!! 😍 Your place is so cute!! If my house wasn’t so messy I’d be showing it off too. Thank you for inspiring me!! Much love, and many blessings to you from Kentucky.
Not sure what your intent was with this video but you delivered a sermon on contentment and gratitude. We won’t be here forever. God bless you woman of God.
You know what I got from this video??? Not how beautiful and comfy your home is, but the woman of dignity and grace that you exude. You are beautiful, your voice is calming and I can tell how much you trust God. Blessings always.
I lived in the projects...back in the 70's, and I remember how clean all the homes were. It was a mark of pride that you kept everything neat and tidy. We had a neighbour, Miss Robins, who gave all the children home baked goodies if we were respectful and in return we ran to the shop for her when she needed something. There was a real sense of community in our neighbourhood.
@@seaglass8940 We did look out for each other...as children we were sent out to check on elderly neighbours...my mother fed any child that showed up at the house and when we visited other's homes we would get fed there. I still remember the first time I had fried okra at a friends house and he came to ours and tried tortilla's for the first time!
Beautiful space. Every room is inviting and cozy. I have seen huge expensive houses that don’t hold a candle to yours. Many have the big house but they can’t decorate and they are either too cluttered or too empty , messy and have no warmth. You should be very proud of your home. Your Kids will have wonderful memories of their childhood and their home.
I love how you're saying things about God and saying to read that book about Joyce Myers. I think you're apt.is very very nice and pretty! You've done a great job of decorating!
This reminds me of my home as a kid. We lived in a rough neighborhood in section 8 housing and my mom always had the yard manicured and the house decorated. She always told me to take care of whatever I had, even if it was a shack, and God will bless you with more!
I will make a suggestion: change the tone of your videos from one of poverty to organization, home cooked meals in 30 minutes, quick meals in one pot for when you are in a hurry/don't feel good/work full-time with kids to feed, tips to not get sick, how to stock your freezer and pantry for unexpected company/out-of-town overnight visits from family/friends, spices and seasonings for a stocked pantry, canned foods to keep on hand, etc., etc., You are dropping so many pearls. Re: your video on Sloopy Joe burgers with broccoli and fries....I just called my niece and asked if she would enjoy that next time she comes to visit and she said she'd love to have it.
I agree that you have tons of wisdom to share with us, Meek, I admire your home and attitude. We could learn a lot from you. But of course make whatever type of videos you feel inspired to make!
I don't know if anyone remembers Ateya from back in the day? She did exactly this and was my first 'influencer' inspiring me to get myself together on a budget; hair, beauty, baking...
I kind of hope she doesn't listen to you. There are so many influencers, but not very many people who show what it's like to navigate poverty with dignity. We live in a society driven by conspicuous consumption, it's refreshing to see someone who is living her real, actual life with wisdom and grace.
Was gonna say the same thing. Wayyy better than some apartments here. There are some I opt to wait outside rather than walk in. Love her organization tho!
I noticed you dont have a lot of "stuff" you are not overwhelmed with clutter. Your attitude and spirit speaks volumes and it is reflected in your beautiful home. You are an inspiration to all, richer or poorer.
I love your cozy home. My husband and I live in a very small house…less than a thousand square feet. We live frugally. Grow our own food. Our car is over twenty years old. We’re not in a very good neighborhood. But it’s our cozy space, it’s paid for, and we’re happy here and so grateful for what we have. I love what you said…it’s not where you live, it’s how you live.
Shoutout to all the project housing families out there, showing the world that our homes and our lives are beautiful! You're breaking down stereotypes every single day, and that's something to be proud of. Project housing doesn't equal filth, and you're proof of that! Keep sharing your story and inspiring others.
I worked in section 8 housing for 4 years. Many apartments were trashed and gross due to the tenants not caring. Your a dream tenant. Place is clean and organized and you take care of it. Ive been homeless in my life and i just bought my first house in Colorado and am doing well for myself. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. You’re doing amazing and should be proud. I wish the best for you!
Young woman, your house is perfect. You keep a clean, cozy and comfortable home. And you're a great Mama. Great job! You'll be in a brand new home when it's time. ❤❤
I currently work in public housing management and let me just say, your unit is fabulous & I wish you were one of my residents. Thank you for keeping it nice and showing people that projects does NOT equal squalor.
Your house is so nice! You obviously have a talent for decorating, organization, communication, and video blogging. Thank you to CZcams for recommending your channel, and thank you for sharing.
I stumbled across your video in my feed and I’m blown away by your BEAUTIFUL apartment! It’s perfect. Clean, comfortable, spacious, and I can tell it’s full of your love and care for your family! RIGHT ON about not letting your kids have a TV in their bedroom. Your son has toys, books, and a family that loves him - he’ll look back on his childhood with gratitude for you giving him stability and safety instead of 24-7 TV access. One last thing - EVERYONE deserves safe and comfortable housing that they can make into a home. There is no good reason why low income people should be forced to live in substandard housing (or none at all). You deserve to have the things that make your life work for you - I’m thrilled that you have your own washer/dryer, good working fridge and stove, and a dishwasher and also YOUR OWN BATHROOM! You’re a single hardworking mom and you NEED your space and the things that free you up enough to be independent. Not having to worry about where to wash your clothes is a godsend. Your apartment is honest to goodness nicer than a lot of apartments that people pay 5,000 a month for because it’s clean and organized! Thanks for the tour of your beautiful home. Even if it were your forever home, it’s a place to be proud of.
@michby I'm sorry but I disagree! I know someone that doesn't deserve housing of any kind and that's my niece. She's a schizophrenic/bipolar but that's not her problem. Her problem is that she is insufferable! If things don't go her way she pitches a fit and is very abusive. Both physically and verbally. She has admitted that she knows what she's doing. Did I mention that she's very lazy and dirty? She will smear feces on a shared bathroom and not clean it, for example. Do you think that anyone should have to live with her or put up with her? I took care of her for 15 months and am now severely disabled because of the stress. You sound like a very nice person and I truly hope that you have a wonderful life free of people like my niece.
@gigiw.7650 I’m so sorry to hear that your family is struggling with serious mental illness. I have a family member who is also struggling with some similar problems although he does not react the same way as your niece. Instead when he is angry he destroys things by throwing them and he also yells and screams at people. It’s very hard to deal with. What our loved ones need the most is high quality mental health care. It sounds like your niece needs to be hospitalized for her own and everyone else’s safety. Again, I’m so sorry to hear of her suffering and yours as well.
I loved the video! My grandparents lived in an immaculate apartment like this when I was young. So it gave the same warm and safe feelings from when I used to visit them.
There is nothing wrong with a white refrigerator - or a old school stove. Your heart for taking care of your family and your love of God is what makes you a million dollar lady ❤️
And they’re SO much easier to keep clean! They don’t scratch and show every little smudge and fingerprint. I wish that good old fashioned white enamel would make a comeback!
I don't know if you have seen houses in Europe, so this is a really nice space and comfortable, I don't know what kind of neighborhood you are in? But the house is excellent, beautiful, well organized and with enough space. You in America usually compete with the houses of movie actors who have 10 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms each, which I think is funny because it doesn't serve them anything.
Girl, I had a child at 16, started out on section 8. 55 years later I’m a 38 year retired registered nurse, own my own home, and enjoying life. God rewards those whom feel the way you do. Your place is lovely, and organized. God bless.
I'm on section 8 single mom with 2 girls 6&7. I'm going to school now online and working full time. I can't wait. I'm saving for a house etc i already own my car I'm 32. I know God has something for me i keep pushing in his path i will.
hi you have beauitful apartment i live in nycha apt for 11year i have 3 kids in 1 bedroom i sleep in living room iim wait for transfter god bless us amen
I live in a similar apartment that is a co-op which means it's not government funded and we have to buy in for our units. We don't have near as much storage space as you do in your beautiful kitchen. We supply all our own appliances and pay some utilities. You've done a wonderful job with your place. It's also spotless!!
I think your apartment is more luxurious than you give it credit for. Lots of people are going back to white appliances, no reason to apologize for that. Nice patio, storage, computer nook, storage, etc. I really didn't expect such a well appointed place. Your housekeeping is top tier! Thank you for sharing your home. It was eye opening.
Truth. I always had and loved white, unfortunately the home I am in does have stainless steel, it came with it. I will replace them as they die with white appliances.👍👍
Stainless steel is a big hassle because it shows EVERY little thing. I had a stainless steel microwave and I hated it because no matter how much I cleaned it never looked clean.
Seriously. This is the nicest place in a project community I have ever seen. When I was in that situation, I didn't even have carpet. It was all bare floors and no air conditioning. So small and of course in a crap neighborhood. Your place is very nice and decorated beautifully. I think you are very fortunate.
Yes, I've never seen what is considered a 'project' that are townhomes with your own separate outdoor entryway, a small front porch (as shown in the title pic) and with all the storage that her place has. Is it really the projects? Where is it?
There is something so comforting about you. Your children are so lucky. I grew up with everything I wanted, nice home expensive clothes, but a hateful narcissistic mother who has traumatized me for life. I would trade my upbringing in a heartbeat to have you as a mother
Wow, they call this the projects? I lived in the projects in Brooklyn, NY during the 80's and 90's and we ain't have a dishwasher, washer and dryer area, 2 bathrooms, outside patio area, computer desk area in the living room, smh. This is a nice place so gratitude to the Most High for whatever you have. Thanks for sharing!
Your place is very nice . VERY clean and organized. I'm 71 years old. I've lived in low income housing on and off for many years. I've never had a washer and dryer, what a blessing. You're a pretty young lady. Grow in the word, give Jesus honor and praise. God's got you!
Just because you live in the projects doesn’t mean you have to live in filth!! YOUR HOME IS BEAUTIFUL & you can tell how much pride you’ve placed into your space. Your children are blessed to have you!! Thank you for sharing your space with us GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY ❤
Nice apartment. Great attitude. I was a landlord for nearly 30 years. You seem like a dream tenant. May God honor your gratitude, see your humility and bless you with your own. 🙏🏾
I've been a single mother since 1987 and I would have loved an apartment like yours and with washer dryer! No laundromat!! I'm now a single Gma raising my disabled grandson and own my own little house, and I am so thankful every day. THANKFUL, I hear you about thankful!
Your home is spotless. I grew up poor and my mom always said "it's not about what you have, it's how you take care of it." And there wasn't a home in our county cleaner than my mzma's. She always told me she would rather have what someone owes instead of what then own. I took that lesson to heart and I still don't have a credit card even as an adult. You are the young version of my mama and you are fantastic . Sending you all of the love ❤ your house is gorgeous.
This lady has a phenomenal attitude. She is motivated to make the best of what she has. Her home is spotless and beautifully organised. She has created a cosy retreat for her and her family. My mum was brought up in a labourer's cottage in the UK, with damp running down the walls and orange boxes for furniture, an outside loo and no hot water. She wanted something better too and, with hard work, she and dad built their own warm and comfortable home. You are an inspiration - an industrious, determined and ambitious young woman who does the best she can.
Your home is lovely! I am a 60 year old white woman in Texas, I admire you so much. I grew up in a trailer full of roaches, and now no bugs, 2 story house that we don’t need and a pool in the backyard. My house is no more a home than yours is. Unless you block me I am going to follow you for the strong woman and mother you are. Praying for blessings for you and your family.❤
@@nicolecarter2646why you so rude? She said she grew up in a bad place . Her parents were responsible for the filth in her house. She was relating to being low income. Being White they probably didn’t qualify for free housing like blacks do, which is what is leading this country into communism.So you can just stop speaking nonsense .
I feel like I need to spend more time self-reflecting, focusing on positivity, having a better attitude and overall just trynna live better. My place of peace is bigger and not in the projects and your attitude about life and making the best out of what u have is 1000x better than mine. I live alone but for some reason always felt like I needed more space for satisfaction but idk why I think this way plus it’s hard keeping all the rooms spotless. Thanks for sharing Meek! I’m in year 8 at my house and still haven’t fully furnished/decorated the rooms. I’m getting better at decorating though cuz it’s like u said, u feel better in your space when u decorate to make the space feel more homey/cozy. It def makes a difference.
I came across your page. I'm 68 yrs old and I feel that you live a life next to God . There is a peace that you give off. God bless you and your family
A fridge is a fridge you are absolutely right! I am sick of people thinking brand new everything matters, I have the same in my place 240 sq ft, no dishwasher and 2k a month where I live :( What is important is everything works, you are caring and loving your babies and you are an amazing mom. Thank you for being here, ( I have no dishwasher either... or washer and dryer either! I have to pay 10.00 per load for my wash and drying ... sigh...
Do not apologize for anything---your home is lovely . It is spotless and cozy. Your children are fortunate. They have a wonderful mother and bright futures ahead.
I live in a one bedroom SMALL apartment in Montana. My kitchen is so tiny, it’s a front room, kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom. 2 closets, one small closet by the tiny kitchen with narrow cupboards. Your bedroom is bigger than my 1 bedroom. Your apartment is really nice. Also my apartment is half basement. No washer and dryer. You inspired me to get busy and fix it up in here. I am thankful. Don’t think I’m ungrateful for what I have. I have a roof over my head. You are an inspiration! I am a widow and I’m disabled from a rollover accident where I broke my neck. I’m still walking, thank you God! My husband died at 51 and I can’t keep up with a lot, like I used to. I’m thankful to wake up every day. I suffer from seasonal depression which wasn’t so bad until Covid hit and I was stuck in here for months on end by myself. I’m excited about spring. I’ll be 70 the 18th. Jesus has kept me alive and it’s really a miracle. You just keep on being your sweet self!!
@@jehouse61 oh me too! I don’t know what’s the matter with me. I mean I don’t hoard but I’m terribly messy. 😬 We can do it!!! We can!! I do a lot of stuff, crochet, diamond painting, and paper quilling. I love the quilling the best. But I cannot do it in a mess!
I am 70 broke my neck in a fall a year ago. It is not healing well so have some issues. Getting old is hard for sure. I paint to sooth my time alone. Yes I am also so eager for spring to get here. My life is not as tough as yours. I still keep up 7 huge flower beds. It is getting hard to do now. My husband helps some. I sit on a wheeled garden cart to move around the flower beds. I probley look like a drunk. Have fallen off that cart many times. Reaching for things LOL.I feed the birds and hummingbirds. You can make your own hummingbird food. If would like I can tell you how. It is easy and not costly. You can even get small feeders that suction to a window.
@@functionsbyradar995 oh I would love that! I’d say you have it worse physically. I’m so glad you have flower beds! Flowers are such a gift to us! And I’m glad you have your husband to help you. I believe we all have our problems and setting older is so shocking isn’t it?! God bless you❤️
Get a pin & paper. You will be shocked how easy making hummingbird food is. How much less the cost is from buying it. By the way that red stuff is very bad for their bills and causes them to not be able to eat...'Also never use anything other than as hot water will come out of tap for cleaning the feeder. It will harm them. I have feed them for years. The first year you might not have a lot of birds. Do not be disappointed. Each year the number increases. Also never place feeders close to each other, they are a bit territorial. I have a feeder in back & front yard so they cannot see each other LOL. Their battles will amuse you for hours. if are like me. Also, they might not seem to be coming for a while because the scouts for finding food come first. Also, when flowers are in full bloom, they eat the nectar a lot. The proper time is about right after Easter. Or when the nights do not go lower than about 50. They leave in late fall depending on night temp. Or after the first hard frost. TO CLEAN THE FEEDER & CARE FOR FEEDER. You only need hot water, small dishpan, disposable gloves & a baby bottle type scrub brush. Take feeder apart completely. perch's, the food - guards, bottoms or lids. When new just use the hot water method alone. Once have used the feeder. Do it how describe below way. emptied-out MAKING HOMEMADE HUMMINGBIRD FOOD Any sized feeder used you will just need to remember it is always. Two parts water too.1 part sugar. Using your feeder like a measuring cup. You will need a well-scrubbed & rinsed saucepan large enough to fit water for the size feeder are using. Just measure the amount of water feeder holds by testing it out before ever using it. Bottled water is best for health of birds as tap water has chemicals. Pour the amount of water need into pan. Turn on heat. Heat the water to almost boiling point. Then just add in granulated table sugar. Do this slowly and be sure to stir it well. You will know is done when it returns to a clear color. Allow this mix to become room temp before putting in put back together feeder now you are ready to hang the feeder. It is just that easy. Always fill & soak sink used in bleach water as are cleaning a bird feeder. Clean counter area in bleach water as well. @@user-dm1pt4ru6e
Excellent attitude ... and the results ... excellent as well. I grew up in a BIG house ... It was cold and unfriendly and devoid of LOVE from the furnishings to the occupants. Big and fancy doesn't fool me. You are wonderful and your kids are lucky!!!!!
Keep your head up, eyes on the Lord Meek. There's nothing wrong with the projects, you are doing what it takes to🎉 provide a stable environment for your babies. A lot of the young women now a days don't care how they look, smell or care how their kids look . And it's sad. I respect any woman,mother, sister who is on her grid making it for family.
Holy cow! This is the “projects?!?” It looks huge! And spotless, beautifully decorated, and organized. You have SO much to be proud of. I really appreciate you telling us not to let the insensitive comments of others get you in a bad mindset; wise words. Now I feel like I want to go clean and decorate my house! What city (or part of the country) are you from? You and your children deserve every kind of blessing! Thank you for this inspirational video. ❤
Agreed! My apartment is a 1600/month “luxury” apartment and I would be perfectly happy living in this apartment instead. It’s probably about the same size and the stainless steel appliances do not enhance my quality of life 😂
Proud of you Sis! Your home is warm and inviting. Where you start doesn’t have to be where you finish. I’ve lived in the projects and today I’m a home owner and a REALTOR! Keep thriving ❤🏡
One of the best videos of the century. You are a calm, beautiful soul. Your apartment is so clean, cozy and peaceful. I wish you nothing but the best. You deserve all things good.
You know the projects might be real ghetto and stuff, but people in these homes usually take care of them and keep them spotless because they're BEYOND grateful for them. I'm happy for you, I hope you're comfortable & you matter.
If you give me 1 million dollars, I will always still choose my tiny home. We have 3 beds/2 baths, but I don't mind living in an efficiency or trailer. I've lived in all kinds of homes and am never more cozier than when in smaller places and filled with browns, carpeting, and wood paneling 😊 LOVE it!
Your home is a reflection of you, I admire your respect for your daughter. You are teaching her about boundaries, she feels comfortable enough to say mom don’t show my room and you respect that. I think you are a great mother and you have a lovely home, it’s beautifully decorated and very clean and organized. Thank you for sharing it with us ! 💕 🙏🌞🪴🌻🌼
You have a beautiful ,loving,kind,caring home. I grew up in the projects. I know how people translate opinions about where a person lives, or where they work, clothes they’re wearing.. You’re a beautiful person inside and out. And a blessing of a mother.
What a beautiful home! And your attitude is the most beautiful thing in the whole video! I pray for many blessings for you and your children! Thank you for sharing your lil part of the world with us. 😉🥰👍🙏🏼🙌🏼🤍
I grew up in a project in the 60's. Wonderful neighbors from all over the world. My neighbors were so good to my sister, brother and myself. They were there for us with our tragedy. Our homes were clean and we shared food. I have gratitude in my life. Bless the poor. Be generous to others. Sending love to this sweet woman.
I don't know you, but I'm proud of you. You showed what can be done with any amount of space when it's kept clean and organized. Your space shows you've taught your children to appreciate what they have also. Plus you ain't ashamed to acknowledge our Lord and the space you've created to worship him. Blessings surely will continue to be poured out on you.
That's the neatest, cleanest project apartment I've ever seen. I've seen the projects before. My grandmother lived in one; and you have a luxurious home. You keep making it sound like you are explaining your home as less than. Lady be proud of your home! It's amazing.
Most AA people in the projects have neat and tidy homes. I’ve only seen a few that weren’t, and it was more of a light hoarding situation than a dirty place.
We don't let America know what we have we also don't disclose the money we have most black people got that bag. We don't care what people think as long as we know people also think I'm Brock it's not what you do it's how you did it 💯🤷🏽♀️
That apartment is bigger and has more amenities than the tiny apartment I've worked 25 years to pay off... and I live in a "fancy" area called Sandton in South Africa. I could do with project housing if it's that size!
You have a beautiful townhome/row home. Projects I've seen are usually high rise housing authority buildings. Just like on "Good Times". I had relatives that lived in the projects. There's nothing wrong with your home it's very nice.🥰
The walls are not the home without you! You give your kids a home and you should be proud of it! You don’t have anything to apologize for! You are a great role model to your kids! We need more of you!
Your project apartment is just beautiful! I’m from Newark, New Jersey and I’m sorry I would never call that a project! God bless you and your children! ✌💙
Girl.... Don't be so hard on yourself. You're doing great! You have a place to lay your heads at night, appliances to feed your family, and it's all clean and tidy. Good Job Mama! Proud of you
It’s way nicer than I thought it would be. It’s very clean and you can tell you have pride and gratitude. I am also a single mom, I am now 59 and my girls are now 35 & 30. I worked really hard and when my girls were little we lived in a one bedroom one bath trailer, it was 400 square feet. By the time my daughters were preteen and a teenager I had earned my masters degree and was able to buy a 3 bedroom 2 bath house. I did everything be myself while living in the very expensive Bay Area. You can do anything you put your mind to. You have a great spirit and attitude. Thanks for sharing wish you well.
Your home is so well cared for and beautifully decorated. So clean. So warm and cozy. It’s just enough. You’re such a sweet and humble lady. I bet your children are so well mannered and kind. I don’t know why your channel popped up on my feed. You seem to be very happy and thankful for all you have. You take good care and God Bless you and your family. We all matter and we all do have a story. ❤
Your home is immaculately clean, uncluttered, organized and decorated beautifully. At this point in the world today, we should all be so fortunate to have a cozy, warm and inviting place to call home. A lot of people aren’t so fortunate.
I was raised in the project's I the early 70's, and I'm not ashamed. It was t my mother forever home, she was a LVN, with 2 young girls. She purchased a home, in 1974, after living in the projects for 4 years. My is gone , I live in the home now, its paid for and its mine. You will make it out dont worry. ❤ God bless
You have a lovely home. I’m a disabled senior trying to find affordable housing and your beautiful abode is Goals to me! Thank you for sharing your space with us; when I saw what you’ve done with everything and how nicely you’ve personalized the space it gave me hope that perhaps I too will be so blessed. Thank you for refreshing my faith and hope in Father to remember that no matter what, He’s got me. From what you’ve shown here I’d say He’s got you too! Praise be the Most High, His Mercy endures forever! Stay Blessed, dear heart. You’re inspiring to see. Thank you for sharing this.
My mother grew up in the projects and her mother always said it doesn't matter where we live this house will be clean! She would bleach their concrete patios and was always making sure their house was spotless. That was definitely passed down to us and to always appreciate having a roof over your head.
Your "project apartment" is a lot nicer than my small house in the suburbs. I inherited it from my father, who passed a few months ago. He was a hoarder so I've got some work to do on it and not a lot of $$ but you've really inspired me. I remember taking a financial class at my church years ago and the elder who was teaching said the goal should be to live at a world class level with whatever resources and income you currently have & it looks like you're doing that. Blessings to you!
Loved this. I just want to say I truly see you. A human. A black woman. A mother. A provider. Bless you for everything you are and more. Thank you for showing us a bit of your life. Much love.
After my husband’s transfer, I taught inner city high school science. The education I gained from this diverse group of youth, changed me forever. I cherish this experience
Tbh I love white appliances. It’s so cozy and warm in your home, the way it should be! 🥰❤️ you are clearly HIGHLY blessed 😇 ✝️💗 whatever you give Him, He multiplies for you. Your edits were funny too. Keep it up, sister! 🎉🎉🎉 I’m inspired ✨ Also I love the audio… it’s kinda ASMR vibes with the doors opening and lights coming on, etc
I know people in wealthy suburbs that pay 3k+ for tiny and poorly kept STUDIO apartments, and here is an apartment in the projects that is nicer than any of them. What a home is worth is different for everybody. Some people sacrifice everything for location. Some people sacrifice everything for square footage. Some people don’t have much choice. The important things are these: Do you have what you need? Is your home safe? Do you find refuge in it? Is there love in it? Are you making happy memories there? Can you feel at peace there? Having a home is like having a relationship. It needs to provide safety and security, and we need to invest care and time into it. This is a great example of a home that the family takes pride in and cares for well, and it shows. It is very lucky to grow up in a home that is so cozy and calm and warm.
Your home is clean, organized, cozy, full of love and kindness. So many "affluent" ppl dont have none of that. Your apartment is your castle, and youve made it so. The plastic bags..my mom has hers under the sink and every time we open the doors we have to hurry and catch em all! Youre doing an EXCELLENT JOB!!! Loved the video!❤️❤️
this looks like a completely normal and average apartment. I've never lived in anything fancier and I've also never lived in section 8 or projects. most apartments ive lived in did not even have in unit washer dryer or dishwasher. I have the same fridge and an older stove in my house also, and no dishwasher.
Hello from a single mother of now-adult sons over in the UK. I love your home! There is NOTHING like having a door of your own to close whenever you want, and to open for friends and family. Enjoy!
That’s “the projects”? Better starting palette than I’d imagined. Beyond that you’ve done an excellent job of decorating and organizing and you keep it so nice and clean. I think this channel has great potential. Keep sharing your home, cleaning, shopping, etc… busting the myths about income based everything. Showing reality because I’m sure not all people have as nice a place, and if they do, I’m sure many struggle with cleaning, working, taking care of kids and raising them right. You have much to share and you’ll be amazed how your audience grows. You could help others adjust the way they do things to live a best life just by example. No judgement. No preaching Everyone could use help and I can see this taking off. I’m a plus 1 today because I want to watch you take off. Personally I really like cleaning vids, before and after, organizing and I’m not the only one. This is the first video of yours that I’ve watched so I don’t know if you have some formal theme going yet but think you could ride this puppy. I really like your perspective. Good luck.
My goodness - your home is beautiful and cozy! I love your grateful perspective, and really - I think your home is just absolutely lovely! It has some great space and storage and i am living in envy of your kitchen pantries! You could give lessons in subtle elegance and comfortable minimalism. VERY inspiring!
HI Meek, In Ireland, your fridge is pretty standard for a lot of Irish homes. Your stove it amazing! Its a great size. That's a big oven! In Ireland we have to pay for all the plastic shopping bags at the grocery check-out. I like your laundry space. I hate the noise of the washing machine so mine is wired up for the outside shed. One day I will have an air-fryer lol. I like your living room. It looks beautiful and peaceful. Very smart putting the dresser inside the closet! His room is probably bigger than the average Irish home's small bedroom. Your bedroom looks really lovely. I just love a nosey around someone's house so thanks so much. May God bless you and your family and keep you all safe in your loving home.
Your home is beautiful! Because of an income based house, I was able to take care of 2 sons as a single and go to school at the age of 42 and become an elementary school teacher! Your home is beautiful and so are you! I am now 73 years old. 7 years ago i was able to buy a completely remodeled home for $50,000 with a house payment of $381.00 per month! Your home video has inspired me to get rid of all excess clutter 😅 because of how beautiful your home is! Sweetie, I'm proud of you though I've never met you! Keep up GOD'S good work!
I wouldn’t have known it was the projects. You did a beautiful job through out the whole house. It’s clean, organized and the pieces (fireplace, mirrors and plants) just elevated the place entirely. Very peaceful home and your children are calm which is a testament to your dedication to detail in all aspects.
“It's not about where you live; it's how you live.” I felt that one ❤❤
You nailed it. Her home was lovely dignity. Agree
Yep, I felt that too😁
Her home is ideal. So organized and peaceful. That is what home should feel like. ❤
I agree with this statement. Her home is nice, clean and organized. But there are areas of “the projects” in some cities where there may be a lot of gun violence and gang activity. Where your children can’t even go outside for fear that they might get shot by a stray bullet. It then becomes a matter of “where you live”.
Love this video! You have a lovely townhouse! Thank you for sharing your home! You are so blessed! Keep going, Sis!
Your home is so clean and organized. There are people living in mini mansions who don't keep their homes as nicely as you do. Your attitude is everything. I really enjoyed your tour. It opened my mind to seeing how attitude makes a world of difference. I know a family living in a very similar style and size townhouse, and all they do is complain about wanting more and trashing the place. It truly is all about HOW you live. ❤
Amen
Yes her attitude is beautiful and commendable. Definitely admirable and gave me awesome ideas and things to aspire to, both physically and mentally. Now I need to go buy a new shower curtain asap lol😅
Agree 100 percent. I need to stop complaining-I need to be more grateful and appreciate my home-no matter how old my appliances are-it’s not important! It’s a healthy mind set to be grateful and humbled. ❤🫶🏼🙏🏼✨
Your joy is contagious!! 😍 Your place is so cute!! If my house wasn’t so messy I’d be showing it off too. Thank you for inspiring me!!
Much love, and many blessings to you from Kentucky.
I was going to comment the same thing. What a sense of peace that comes with gratitude.
Not sure what your intent was with this video but you delivered a sermon on contentment and gratitude. We won’t be here forever. God bless you woman of God.
💯 ❤
This is what self respect and dignity looks like. Had she not told me she lived in the projects I would never have known. Nice place!
Yesssss! Very nice!
Agreed🙏🩷🧡❤️
Me either. Her home looks better than most homes I've seen. She is so blessed.
❤❤❤❤❤ beautiful
You know what I got from this video??? Not how beautiful and comfy your home is, but the woman of dignity and grace that you exude. You are beautiful, your voice is calming and I can tell how much you trust God. Blessings always.
me too. new subscriber xxx
Yes 👏 ❤
You said exactly what I was thinking
If you love home and are a homemaker, you can make a home anywhere! Your home is lovely, and cozy! ❤❤❤❤❤
Same. Agreed 100%. You have a lovely apartment. You make it beautiful and cozy as heaven. Love it.
I lived in the projects...back in the 70's, and I remember how clean all the homes were. It was a mark of pride that you kept everything neat and tidy. We had a neighbour, Miss Robins, who gave all the children home baked goodies if we were respectful and in return we ran to the shop for her when she needed something. There was a real sense of community in our neighbourhood.
We looked out for each other, remember Tenant Patrol!
@@seaglass8940 We did look out for each other...as children we were sent out to check on elderly neighbours...my mother fed any child that showed up at the house and when we visited other's homes we would get fed there. I still remember the first time I had fried okra at a friends house and he came to ours and tried tortilla's for the first time!
Beautiful space. Every room is inviting and cozy. I have seen huge expensive houses that don’t hold a candle to yours. Many have the big house but they can’t decorate and they are either too cluttered or too empty , messy and have no warmth. You should be very proud of your home. Your Kids will have wonderful memories of their childhood and their home.
The good old days 😊
I love how you're saying things about God and saying to read that book about Joyce Myers. I think you're apt.is very very nice and pretty! You've done a great job of decorating!
This reminds me of my home as a kid. We lived in a rough neighborhood in section 8 housing and my mom always had the yard manicured and the house decorated. She always told me to take care of whatever I had, even if it was a shack, and God will bless you with more!
❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉
I will make a suggestion: change the tone of your videos from one of poverty to organization, home cooked meals in 30 minutes, quick meals in one pot for when you are in a hurry/don't feel good/work full-time with kids to feed, tips to not get sick, how to stock your freezer and pantry for unexpected company/out-of-town overnight visits from family/friends, spices and seasonings for a stocked pantry, canned foods to keep on hand, etc., etc., You are dropping so many pearls. Re: your video on Sloopy Joe burgers with broccoli and fries....I just called my niece and asked if she would enjoy that next time she comes to visit and she said she'd love to have it.
I agree that you have tons of wisdom to share with us, Meek, I admire your home and attitude. We could learn a lot from you. But of course make whatever type of videos you feel inspired to make!
I don't know if anyone remembers Ateya from back in the day? She did exactly this and was my first 'influencer' inspiring me to get myself together on a budget; hair, beauty, baking...
I kind of hope she doesn't listen to you. There are so many influencers, but not very many people who show what it's like to navigate poverty with dignity. We live in a society driven by conspicuous consumption, it's refreshing to see someone who is living her real, actual life with wisdom and grace.
This apartment looks nicer than a lot of apartments that aren't in the projects. You even have in-unit laundry. That's great!
Right! I was just going to say that!! Beautiful home ❤Be blessed, always!,
Was gonna say the same thing. Wayyy better than some apartments here. There are some I opt to wait outside rather than walk in. Love her organization tho!
Wayyyyy nicer! I live in an RV! And not a big, nice one! I would LOVE to have an apartment like this!
Yes I live in a 3 bedroom triplex with no counter or cabinet space one of the bedrooms I turned into a pantry because I have no room
nice spot! 🎉
I noticed you dont have a lot of "stuff" you are not overwhelmed with clutter. Your attitude and spirit speaks volumes and it is reflected in your beautiful home. You are an inspiration to all, richer or poorer.
Very true. And I still say, bring/take your own washcloths and towels for planned trips.😄
@@bamarealist I take 2 flat sheets as well.
@@winh998 Yes😄👍
@@bamarealistthis tickled me, because this is what we were all taught by black parents 😂
@@OpinionatedMe_ Yup😄
I love your cozy home. My husband and I live in a very small house…less than a thousand square feet. We live frugally. Grow our own food. Our car is over twenty years old. We’re not in a very good neighborhood. But it’s our cozy space, it’s paid for, and we’re happy here and so grateful for what we have. I love what you said…it’s not where you live, it’s how you live.
Shoutout to all the project housing families out there, showing the world that our homes and our lives are beautiful! You're breaking down stereotypes every single day, and that's something to be proud of. Project housing doesn't equal filth, and you're proof of that! Keep sharing your story and inspiring others.
I worked in section 8 housing for 4 years. Many apartments were trashed and gross due to the tenants not caring. Your a dream tenant. Place is clean and organized and you take care of it. Ive been homeless in my life and i just bought my first house in Colorado and am doing well for myself. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. You’re doing amazing and should be proud. I wish the best for you!
Those were just trifling people 😂😂
@@user-se7hf3vm3v No those were people who didn't have no money at all.
Young woman, your house is perfect. You keep a clean, cozy and comfortable home. And you're a great Mama. Great job! You'll be in a brand new home when it's time. ❤❤
@@marcellinejackson9697 lmao
Great for home office
I currently work in public housing management and let me just say, your unit is fabulous & I wish you were one of my residents. Thank you for keeping it nice and showing people that projects does NOT equal squalor.
Your house is so nice! You obviously have a talent for decorating, organization, communication, and video blogging. Thank you to CZcams for recommending your channel, and thank you for sharing.
I stumbled across your video in my feed and I’m blown away by your BEAUTIFUL apartment! It’s perfect. Clean, comfortable, spacious, and I can tell it’s full of your love and care for your family! RIGHT ON about not letting your kids have a TV in their bedroom. Your son has toys, books, and a family that loves him - he’ll look back on his childhood with gratitude for you giving him stability and safety instead of 24-7 TV access.
One last thing - EVERYONE deserves safe and comfortable housing that they can make into a home. There is no good reason why low income people should be forced to live in substandard housing (or none at all). You deserve to have the things that make your life work for you - I’m thrilled that you have your own washer/dryer, good working fridge and stove, and a dishwasher and also YOUR OWN BATHROOM! You’re a single hardworking mom and you NEED your space and the things that free you up enough to be independent. Not having to worry about where to wash your clothes is a godsend.
Your apartment is honest to goodness nicer than a lot of apartments that people pay 5,000 a month for because it’s clean and organized!
Thanks for the tour of your beautiful home. Even if it were your forever home, it’s a place to be proud of.
@michby
I'm sorry but I disagree! I know someone that doesn't deserve housing of any kind and that's my niece. She's a schizophrenic/bipolar but that's not her problem. Her problem is that she is insufferable! If things don't go her way she pitches a fit and is very abusive. Both physically and verbally. She has admitted that she knows what she's doing. Did I mention that she's very lazy and dirty? She will smear feces on a shared bathroom and not clean it, for example.
Do you think that anyone should have to live with her or put up with her? I took care of her for 15 months and am now severely disabled because of the stress.
You sound like a very nice person and I truly hope that you have a wonderful life free of people like my niece.
@gigiw.7650 I’m so sorry to hear that your family is struggling with serious mental illness. I have a family member who is also struggling with some similar problems although he does not react the same way as your niece. Instead when he is angry he destroys things by throwing them and he also yells and screams at people. It’s very hard to deal with. What our loved ones need the most is high quality mental health care. It sounds like your niece needs to be hospitalized for her own and everyone else’s safety. Again, I’m so sorry to hear of her suffering and yours as well.
I loved the video! My grandparents lived in an immaculate apartment like this when I was young. So it gave the same warm and safe feelings from when I used to visit them.
There is nothing wrong with a white refrigerator - or a old school stove. Your heart for taking care of your family and your love of God is what makes you a million dollar lady ❤️
And they’re SO much easier to keep clean! They don’t scratch and show every little smudge and fingerprint. I wish that good old fashioned white enamel would make a comeback!
I've never had anything BUT white appliances. No way am I cleaning streaks off black or steel surfaces every day 😂
I love the old style stove and the fridge too.
Such a beautiful cosy home ❤❤❤ Blessings from Germany 🇩🇪
The meat doesn’t care what color the fridge is. 🙃
I am a 54 year old white woman. Your video really moved me. What a beautiful and clean home. It is obviously a result of a beautiful and clean heart.
Her house is tidier than all of my neighbours' houses 😂😂😂
I don't know if you have seen houses in Europe, so this is a really nice space and comfortable, I don't know what kind of neighborhood you are in? But the house is excellent, beautiful, well organized and with enough space. You in America usually compete with the houses of movie actors who have 10 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms each, which I think is funny because it doesn't serve them anything.
Very nice home! Love it!
Why are you saying "white woman?" We are 'Women". No 9ne cares about skin color anymore. That's all MSM BS
It's beautiful. Just like you. Thank you for sharing.
bag full of bags is a must in any home! people who throw out perfectly good reusable plastic bags are fools. your home looks very pretty.
Yes, mindset is important. Someone once said, "I'm not poor, I'm temporarily broke!" I like that mindset. ❤
Girl, I had a child at 16, started out on section 8. 55 years later I’m a 38 year retired registered nurse, own my own home, and enjoying life. God rewards those whom feel the way you do.
Your place is lovely, and organized. God bless.
You are amazing. ❤
That's amazing! You beat the statistics, my friend.
It is so obvious that Meek is God-centered, her entire personality shines with it!
Amen!!! Retired before 40 is a FLEX
I'm on section 8 single mom with 2 girls 6&7. I'm going to school now online and working full time. I can't wait. I'm saving for a house etc i already own my car I'm 32. I know God has something for me i keep pushing in his path i will.
"Everything's not going to look perfect" *shows a perfectly clean and organized home*
What a beautiful space! ❤
Lol 😂
I know right? Not everything is going to be perfect. Then shows everything perfect 🤣 I love her
hi you have beauitful apartment i live in nycha apt for 11year i have 3 kids in 1 bedroom i sleep in living room iim wait for transfter god bless us amen
I live in a similar apartment that is a co-op which means it's not government funded and we have to buy in for our units. We don't have near as much storage space as you do in your beautiful kitchen. We supply all our own appliances and pay some utilities. You've done a wonderful job with your place. It's also spotless!!
my rent is 1600 for a studio. Trust that I'm jealous of how spacious and well-kept your home is.
I think your apartment is more luxurious than you give it credit for. Lots of people are going back to white appliances, no reason to apologize for that. Nice patio, storage, computer nook, storage, etc. I really didn't expect such a well appointed place. Your housekeeping is top tier! Thank you for sharing your home. It was eye opening.
Truth. I always had and loved white, unfortunately the home I am in does have stainless steel, it came with it. I will replace them as they die with white appliances.👍👍
I bought a house for 250k & it came with white appliances. Im keeping them
Your apartment is so nice! You have done such a lovely job decorating! Anna Maria Leader
Stainless steel is a big hassle because it shows EVERY little thing. I had a stainless steel microwave and I hated it because no matter how much I cleaned it never looked clean.
@@Momma_AL Absolutely. White appliances, you can see when they are clean, without the ugly mess of stainless, that never looks clean to me. 👍👍
Seriously. This is the nicest place in a project community I have ever seen. When I was in that situation, I didn't even have carpet. It was all bare floors and no air conditioning. So small and of course in a crap neighborhood. Your place is very nice and decorated beautifully. I think you are very fortunate.
so true!
Loved it.
Yes, I've never seen what is considered a 'project' that are townhomes with your own separate outdoor entryway, a small front porch (as shown in the title pic) and with all the storage that her place has. Is it really the projects? Where is it?
Same. I wouldn't know she lived in the projects if she hadn't said it
Ikr. Thjs apt is YUGE!! Where is the roaches and rats? The lack of heat and hot water?
There is something so comforting about you. Your children are so lucky. I grew up with everything I wanted, nice home expensive clothes, but a hateful narcissistic mother who has traumatized me for life. I would trade my upbringing in a heartbeat to have you as a mother
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, they call this the projects? I lived in the projects in Brooklyn, NY during the 80's and 90's and we ain't have a dishwasher, washer and dryer area, 2 bathrooms, outside patio area, computer desk area in the living room, smh. This is a nice place so gratitude to the Most High for whatever you have. Thanks for sharing!
Your place is very nice . VERY clean and organized. I'm 71 years old. I've lived in low income housing on and off for many years. I've never had a washer and dryer, what a blessing. You're a pretty young lady. Grow in the word, give Jesus honor and praise. God's got you!
It's not where you live, it's how you live.
Amen. Jesus will always keep us❤
She lives in a really nice place.
@@Collageartist69so 👍
You have a very nice home
Just because you live in the projects doesn’t mean you have to live in filth!! YOUR HOME IS BEAUTIFUL & you can tell how much pride you’ve placed into your space. Your children are blessed to have you!! Thank you for sharing your space with us GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY ❤

Attitude in life is the difference between being at peace or in constant want. Thank you for sharing.
You have a beautiful home! It’s so clean and cozy. I’m also envious of how much storage space you have! That’s a blessing!
Your apartment is very nice. Projects or not it's a great space. Your decor is beautiful.
Thank you so much!
@@34shadesofmeek72girl! I LOVE your attitude! Subscribing right now! Looking forward to more videos!!
Yes, I love your attitude. I also am subscribing to your channel. May the good Lord keep blessing you ❤
Do you remember a movie called "Candyman"? 😮
It all looks perfect to me! Very nice home. Best Wishes.
Nice apartment. Great attitude. I was a landlord for nearly 30 years. You seem like a dream tenant. May God honor your gratitude, see your humility and bless you with your own. 🙏🏾
Absolutely & you know He will 💜🙏🏾💜
I commend you for being so thankful instead of resenting that you want something different. I’m impressed. You are a nice lady and you are very humble
I also love all of the earth tones and plants you incorporated to your home very soothing and the mirrors are a great way to help open up the space.
I've been a single mother since 1987 and I would have loved an apartment like yours and with washer dryer! No laundromat!! I'm now a single Gma raising my disabled grandson and own my own little house, and I am so thankful every day. THANKFUL, I hear you about thankful!
I was born in August 1987
You can tell your home is your family's sanctuary. MEEk, you speak words of wisdom. Your children are blessed to have a mom like you.
YES!!🎉
Qq@@tamarajoquintanilla9467
Your home is spotless. I grew up poor and my mom always said "it's not about what you have, it's how you take care of it." And there wasn't a home in our county cleaner than my mzma's. She always told me she would rather have what someone owes instead of what then own. I took that lesson to heart and I still don't have a credit card even as an adult. You are the young version of my mama and you are fantastic . Sending you all of the love ❤ your house is gorgeous.
That fireplace screen saver is everything!
This lady has a phenomenal attitude. She is motivated to make the best of what she has. Her home is spotless and beautifully organised. She has created a cosy retreat for her and her family. My mum was brought up in a labourer's cottage in the UK, with damp running down the walls and orange boxes for furniture, an outside loo and no hot water. She wanted something better too and, with hard work, she and dad built their own warm and comfortable home. You are an inspiration - an industrious, determined and ambitious young woman who does the best she can.
Organized
Your home is lovely! I am a 60 year old white woman in Texas, I admire you so much. I grew up in a trailer full of roaches, and now no bugs, 2 story house that we don’t need and a pool in the backyard. My house is no more a home than yours is. Unless you block me I am going to follow you for the strong woman and mother you are. Praying for blessings for you and your family.❤
us women have to stick together. God bless.
That has nothing to with her nice clean no roaches apartment??? Your place was nasty hers is not ! Ok
@@nicolecarter2646why you so rude? She said she grew up in a bad place . Her parents were responsible for the filth in her house. She was relating to being low income. Being White they probably didn’t qualify for free housing like blacks do, which is what is leading this country into communism.So you can just stop speaking nonsense .
Why would she block you?
I feel like I need to spend more time self-reflecting, focusing on positivity, having a better attitude and overall just trynna live better. My place of peace is bigger and not in the projects and your attitude about life and making the best out of what u have is 1000x better than mine. I live alone but for some reason always felt like I needed more space for satisfaction but idk why I think this way plus it’s hard keeping all the rooms spotless. Thanks for sharing Meek! I’m in year 8 at my house and still haven’t fully furnished/decorated the rooms. I’m getting better at decorating though cuz it’s like u said, u feel better in your space when u decorate to make the space feel more homey/cozy. It def makes a difference.
I came across your page. I'm 68 yrs old and I feel that you live a life next to God . There is a peace that you give off. God bless you and your family
Agreed!
“It’s not where you live. It’s how you live” Words to live by! So glad I found this channel! Love your videos!
A fridge is a fridge you are absolutely right! I am sick of people thinking brand new everything matters, I have the same in my place 240 sq ft, no dishwasher and 2k a month where I live :( What is important is everything works, you are caring and loving your babies and you are an amazing mom. Thank you for being here, ( I have no dishwasher either... or washer and dryer either! I have to pay 10.00 per load for my wash and drying ... sigh...
Do not apologize for anything---your home is lovely . It is spotless and cozy. Your children are fortunate. They have a wonderful mother and bright futures ahead.
I live in a one bedroom SMALL apartment in Montana. My kitchen is so tiny, it’s a front room, kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom. 2 closets, one small closet by the tiny kitchen with narrow cupboards. Your bedroom is bigger than my 1 bedroom. Your apartment is really nice. Also my apartment is half basement. No washer and dryer. You inspired me to get busy and fix it up in here. I am thankful. Don’t think I’m ungrateful for what I have. I have a roof over my head. You are an inspiration! I am a widow and I’m disabled from a rollover accident where I broke my neck. I’m still walking, thank you God! My husband died at 51 and I can’t keep up with a lot, like I used to. I’m thankful to wake up every day. I suffer from seasonal depression which wasn’t so bad until Covid hit and I was stuck in here for months on end by myself. I’m excited about spring. I’ll be 70 the 18th. Jesus has kept me alive and it’s really a miracle. You just keep on being your sweet self!!
Me too! I am going to organize and clean tomorrow. I'm embarrassed at how I've let my house get!
@@jehouse61 oh me too! I don’t know what’s the matter with me. I mean I don’t hoard but I’m terribly messy. 😬 We can do it!!! We can!! I do a lot of stuff, crochet, diamond painting, and paper quilling. I love the quilling the best. But I cannot do it in a mess!
I am 70 broke my neck in a fall a year ago. It is not healing well so have some issues. Getting old is hard for sure. I paint to sooth my time alone. Yes I am also so eager for spring to get here. My life is not as tough as yours. I still keep up 7 huge flower beds. It is getting hard to do now. My husband helps some. I sit on a wheeled garden cart to move around the flower beds. I probley look like a drunk. Have fallen off that cart many times. Reaching for things LOL.I feed the birds and hummingbirds. You can make your own hummingbird food. If would like I can tell you how. It is easy and not costly. You can even get small feeders that suction to a window.
@@functionsbyradar995 oh I would love that! I’d say you have it worse physically. I’m so glad you have flower beds! Flowers are such a gift to us! And I’m glad you have your husband to help you. I believe we all have our problems and setting older is so shocking isn’t it?! God bless you❤️
Get a pin & paper. You will be shocked how easy making hummingbird food is. How much less the cost is from buying it. By the way that red stuff is very bad for their bills and causes them to not be able to eat...'Also never use anything other than as hot water will come out of tap for cleaning the feeder. It will harm them. I have feed them for years. The first year you might not have a lot of birds. Do not be disappointed. Each year the number increases. Also never place feeders close to each other, they are a bit territorial. I have a feeder in back & front yard so they cannot see each other LOL. Their battles will amuse you for hours. if are like me. Also, they might not seem to be coming for a while because the scouts for finding food come first. Also, when flowers are in full bloom, they eat the nectar a lot. The proper time is about right after Easter. Or when the nights do not go lower than about 50. They leave in late fall depending on night temp. Or after the first hard frost.
TO CLEAN THE FEEDER & CARE FOR FEEDER.
You only need hot water, small dishpan, disposable gloves & a baby bottle type scrub brush.
Take feeder apart completely. perch's, the food - guards, bottoms or lids. When new just use the hot water method alone. Once have used the feeder. Do it how describe below way.
emptied-out
MAKING HOMEMADE HUMMINGBIRD FOOD
Any sized feeder used you will just need to remember it is always. Two parts water too.1 part sugar. Using your feeder like a measuring cup.
You will need a well-scrubbed & rinsed saucepan large enough to fit water for the size feeder are using. Just measure the amount of water feeder holds by testing it out before ever using it. Bottled water is best for health of birds as tap water has chemicals. Pour the amount of water need into pan. Turn on heat. Heat the water to almost boiling point. Then just add in granulated table sugar. Do this slowly and be sure to stir it well. You will know is done when it returns to a clear color. Allow this mix to become room temp before putting in put back together feeder now you are ready to hang the feeder. It is just that easy. Always fill & soak sink used in bleach water as are cleaning a bird feeder. Clean counter area in bleach water as well. @@user-dm1pt4ru6e
It's so apparent that the main ingredient in your life is a love of being alive. May God continue to bless you and your family.
Excellent attitude ... and the results ... excellent as well. I grew up in a BIG house ... It was cold and unfriendly and devoid of LOVE from the furnishings to the occupants. Big and fancy doesn't fool me. You are wonderful and your kids are lucky!!!!!
Keep your head up, eyes on the Lord Meek. There's nothing wrong with the projects, you are doing what it takes to🎉 provide a stable environment for your babies. A lot of the young women now a days don't care how they look, smell or care how their kids look . And it's sad. I respect any woman,mother, sister who is on her grid making it for family.
This video inspired me to reorganize my own house. Luxury IS a mindset, and I’m so tired of the junk everywhere. Let’s get some luxury up in here!
Same sis 😅
Yes!! Luxury IS a mindset and is so subjective/relative.
Holy cow! This is the “projects?!?” It looks huge! And spotless, beautifully decorated, and organized. You have SO much to be proud of. I really appreciate you telling us not to let the insensitive comments of others get you in a bad mindset; wise words. Now I feel like I want to go clean and decorate my house! What city (or part of the country) are you from? You and your children deserve every kind of blessing! Thank you for this inspirational video. ❤
Your place is absolutely beautiful. ❤❤❤
Wheee is this project at ? What state is this ?
Agreed! My apartment is a 1600/month “luxury” apartment and I would be perfectly happy living in this apartment instead. It’s probably about the same size and the stainless steel appliances do not enhance my quality of life 😂
I'm impressed with the washer and dryer. I would love to not have to go to the laundry weekly!!!!
Section 8 housing can really vary. It depends on how new the units are and the maintenance of the building and land where the housing is located.
Proud of you Sis! Your home is warm and inviting. Where you start doesn’t have to be where you finish. I’ve lived in the projects and today I’m a home owner and a REALTOR!
Keep thriving ❤🏡
One of the best videos of the century. You are a calm, beautiful soul. Your apartment is so clean, cozy and peaceful. I wish you nothing but the best. You deserve all things good.
The way you say things like "Im grateful", "I appreciate", "it works".. love it. I just found your videos and I think you're a gem.
Cleaning and organization is free. Living in the projects isn’t stopping anyone from cleaning, love this video.
Thank you! EXACTLY
Very nice dear. You are very clean and organized. You sound like a sweetheart and fun. I look forward to more of your videos.

You know the projects might be real ghetto and stuff, but people in these homes usually take care of them and keep them spotless because they're BEYOND grateful for them. I'm happy for you, I hope you're comfortable & you matter.
If you give me 1 million dollars, I will always still choose my tiny home. We have 3 beds/2 baths, but I don't mind living in an efficiency or trailer. I've lived in all kinds of homes and am never more cozier than when in smaller places and filled with browns, carpeting, and wood paneling 😊 LOVE it!
That spirit of gratitude mindset will get you everything you desire in life. And your home is beautiful, just like your soul ♥️
Your home is a reflection of you, I admire your respect for your daughter. You are teaching her about boundaries, she feels comfortable enough to say mom don’t show my room and you respect that. I think you are a great mother and you have a lovely home, it’s beautifully decorated and very clean and organized. Thank you for sharing it with us ! 💕 🙏🌞🪴🌻🌼
You have a beautiful ,loving,kind,caring home. I grew up in the projects. I know how people translate opinions about where a person lives, or where they work,
clothes they’re wearing.. You’re a beautiful person inside and out. And a blessing of a mother.
What a beautiful home! And your attitude is the most beautiful thing in the whole video! I pray for many blessings for you and your children! Thank you for sharing your lil part of the world with us. 😉🥰👍🙏🏼🙌🏼🤍
I grew up in a project in the 60's. Wonderful neighbors from all over the world. My neighbors were so good to my sister, brother and myself. They were there for us with our tragedy. Our homes were clean and we shared food. I have gratitude in my life. Bless the poor. Be generous to others. Sending love to this sweet woman.
It’s not where you live, it’s how you live! You are a great housekeeper, organizer, and decorator!
Okay ❤️❤️❤️💯
This is refreshing content, thank you for reminding us of gratitude, your space is so clean and taken care of, and its really cute!
You have a beautiful spirit, father bless this young lady beyond what she could ever imagine 🙏 ❤️
I don't know you, but I'm proud of you. You showed what can be done with any amount of space when it's kept clean and organized. Your space shows you've taught your children to appreciate what they have also. Plus you ain't ashamed to acknowledge our Lord and the space you've created to worship him. Blessings surely will continue to be poured out on you.
That's the neatest, cleanest project apartment I've ever seen. I've seen the projects before. My grandmother lived in one; and you have a luxurious home. You keep making it sound like you are explaining your home as less than. Lady be proud of your home! It's amazing.
Most AA people in the projects have neat and tidy homes. I’ve only seen a few that weren’t, and it was more of a light hoarding situation than a dirty place.
We don't let America know what we have we also don't disclose the money we have most black people got that bag. We don't care what people think as long as we know people also think I'm Brock it's not what you do it's how you did it 💯🤷🏽♀️
That apartment is bigger and has more amenities than the tiny apartment I've worked 25 years to pay off... and I live in a "fancy" area called Sandton in South Africa. I could do with project housing if it's that size!
You have a beautiful home for your family.
You have a beautiful townhome/row home. Projects I've seen are usually high rise housing authority buildings. Just like on "Good Times". I had relatives that lived in the projects. There's nothing wrong with your home it's very nice.🥰
The walls are not the home without you! You give your kids a home and you should be proud of it! You don’t have anything to apologize for! You are a great role model to your kids! We need more of you!
Your project apartment is just beautiful! I’m from Newark, New Jersey and I’m sorry I would never call that a project! God bless you and your children! ✌💙
Girl.... Don't be so hard on yourself. You're doing great! You have a place to lay your heads at night, appliances to feed your family, and it's all clean and tidy. Good Job Mama! Proud of you
It’s way nicer than I thought it would be. It’s very clean and you can tell you have pride and gratitude. I am also a single mom, I am now 59 and my girls are now 35 & 30. I worked really hard and when my girls were little we lived in a one bedroom one bath trailer, it was 400 square feet. By the time my daughters were preteen and a teenager I had earned my masters degree and was able to buy a 3 bedroom 2 bath house. I did everything be myself while living in the very expensive Bay Area. You can do anything you put your mind to. You have a great spirit and attitude. Thanks for sharing wish you well.
Your home is so well cared for and beautifully decorated. So clean. So warm and cozy. It’s just enough. You’re such a sweet and humble lady. I bet your children are so well mannered and kind. I don’t know why your channel popped up on my feed. You seem to be very happy and thankful for all you have. You take good care and God Bless you and your family. We all matter and we all do have a story. ❤
You're home is beautiful. You made a cozy sanctuary. I love how humble you are and how proud, thankful and blessed you are of your home.
Your home is immaculately clean, uncluttered, organized and decorated beautifully. At this point in the world today, we should all be so fortunate to have a cozy, warm and inviting place to call home. A lot of people aren’t so fortunate.
Your home shows that you care about being a good mother and caring for yourself and your children. Thank you for inviting us into your home. ❤
My sister's lived in the projects in CA ! They were like military bungalows ! That's a blessing right there !! 😊
I was raised in the project's I the early 70's, and I'm not ashamed. It was t my mother forever home, she was a LVN, with 2 young girls. She purchased a home, in 1974, after living in the projects for 4 years. My is gone , I live in the home now, its paid for and its mine. You will make it out dont worry. ❤ God bless
You have a lovely home. I’m a disabled senior trying to find affordable housing and your beautiful abode is Goals to me! Thank you for sharing your space with us; when I saw what you’ve done with everything and how nicely you’ve personalized the space it gave me hope that perhaps I too will be so blessed. Thank you for refreshing my faith and hope in Father to remember that no matter what, He’s got me. From what you’ve shown here I’d say He’s got you too! Praise be the Most High, His Mercy endures forever! Stay Blessed, dear heart. You’re inspiring to see. Thank you for sharing this.
Bless you Hon. GOD'S GOT IT!
Google wooda cooper corporation they have income based housing and they have units in alot of different states. Hope you can find something soon.
Your home is lovely. You’re providing a lovely, clean home for your children. You’re teaching them by example. Great job! Be Blessed! ❤
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
My mother grew up in the projects and her mother always said it doesn't matter where we live this house will be clean! She would bleach their concrete patios and was always making sure their house was spotless. That was definitely passed down to us and to always appreciate having a roof over your head.
Love your place. You’ve created such a warm, clean, comforting place for not just yourself, but most importantly for your kids. ❤
Your "project apartment" is a lot nicer than my small house in the suburbs. I inherited it from my father, who passed a few months ago. He was a hoarder so I've got some work to do on it and not a lot of $$ but you've really inspired me. I remember taking a financial class at my church years ago and the elder who was teaching said the goal should be to live at a world class level with whatever resources and income you currently have & it looks like you're doing that. Blessings to you!
Loved this.
I just want to say I truly see you. A human. A black woman. A mother. A provider. Bless you for everything you are and more.
Thank you for showing us a bit of your life. Much love.
amen! a real person living life and doing well
❤❤❤
Nice clean apartment
After my husband’s transfer, I taught inner city high school science. The education I gained from this diverse group of youth, changed me forever. I cherish this experience
Ok
Tbh I love white appliances. It’s so cozy and warm in your home, the way it should be! 🥰❤️ you are clearly HIGHLY blessed 😇 ✝️💗 whatever you give Him, He multiplies for you.
Your edits were funny too. Keep it up, sister! 🎉🎉🎉 I’m inspired ✨
Also I love the audio… it’s kinda ASMR vibes with the doors opening and lights coming on, etc
I know people in wealthy suburbs that pay 3k+ for tiny and poorly kept STUDIO apartments, and here is an apartment in the projects that is nicer than any of them. What a home is worth is different for everybody. Some people sacrifice everything for location. Some people sacrifice everything for square footage. Some people don’t have much choice. The important things are these: Do you have what you need? Is your home safe? Do you find refuge in it? Is there love in it? Are you making happy memories there? Can you feel at peace there?
Having a home is like having a relationship. It needs to provide safety and security, and we need to invest care and time into it. This is a great example of a home that the family takes pride in and cares for well, and it shows. It is very lucky to grow up in a home that is so cozy and calm and warm.
Your home is clean, organized, cozy, full of love and kindness. So many "affluent" ppl dont have none of that. Your apartment is your castle, and youve made it so. The plastic bags..my mom has hers under the sink and every time we open the doors we have to hurry and catch em all! Youre doing an EXCELLENT JOB!!! Loved the video!❤️❤️
this looks like a completely normal and average apartment. I've never lived in anything fancier and I've also never lived in section 8 or projects. most apartments ive lived in did not even have in unit washer dryer or dishwasher. I have the same fridge and an older stove in my house also, and no dishwasher.
FIRST thing i noticed right away, you take PRIDE in your HOME! So neat and clean!!!
Hello from a single mother of now-adult sons over in the UK. I love your home! There is NOTHING like having a door of your own to close whenever you want, and to open for friends and family. Enjoy!
That’s “the projects”? Better starting palette than I’d imagined. Beyond that you’ve done an excellent job of decorating and organizing and you keep it so nice and clean. I think this channel has great potential. Keep sharing your home, cleaning, shopping, etc… busting the myths about income based everything. Showing reality because I’m sure not all people have as nice a place, and if they do, I’m sure many struggle with cleaning, working, taking care of kids and raising them right. You have much to share and you’ll be amazed how your audience grows. You could help others adjust the way they do things to live a best life just by example. No judgement. No preaching Everyone could use help and I can see this taking off. I’m a plus 1 today because I want to watch you take off. Personally I really like cleaning vids, before and after, organizing and I’m not the only one. This is the first video of yours that I’ve watched so I don’t know if you have some formal theme going yet but think you could ride this puppy. I really like your perspective. Good luck.
@unfrozencavemanlawyer3950...And I like your comment and encouragement. I hope this channel succeeds.
My goodness - your home is beautiful and cozy! I love your grateful perspective, and really - I think your home is just absolutely lovely! It has some great space and storage and i am living in envy of your kitchen pantries! You could give lessons in subtle elegance and comfortable minimalism. VERY inspiring!
the world needs more people like you - decent, kind, humble and appreciate for what you have.
HI Meek, In Ireland, your fridge is pretty standard for a lot of Irish homes. Your stove it amazing! Its a great size. That's a big oven! In Ireland we have to pay for all the plastic shopping bags at the grocery check-out. I like your laundry space. I hate the noise of the washing machine so mine is wired up for the outside shed. One day I will have an air-fryer lol. I like your living room. It looks beautiful and peaceful. Very smart putting the dresser inside the closet! His room is probably bigger than the average Irish home's small bedroom. Your bedroom looks really lovely. I just love a nosey around someone's house so thanks so much. May God bless you and your family and keep you all safe in your loving home.
Your home is beautiful! Because of an income based house, I was able to take care of 2 sons as a single and go to school at the age of 42 and become an elementary school teacher! Your home is beautiful and so are you! I am now 73 years old. 7 years ago i was able to buy a completely remodeled home for $50,000 with a house payment of $381.00 per month! Your home video has inspired me to get rid of all excess clutter 😅 because of how beautiful your home is! Sweetie, I'm proud of you though I've never met you! Keep up GOD'S good work!
I wouldn’t have known it was the projects. You did a beautiful job through out the whole house. It’s clean, organized and the pieces (fireplace, mirrors and plants) just elevated the place entirely. Very peaceful home and your children are calm which is a testament to your dedication to detail in all aspects.
Amen🙌🏽 I totally agree with you. Your place is beautiful and unique to you. Keep blessing this family God 🙏🏽
You're home is spotless and so well-curated! Looks like a million dollars 💕🫡
