Sgt. Major Janie B. McCoy
(EMPIRE NEWS NETWORK (ENN)- My mama, retired Sgt. Major, Janie B. McCoy, is WHAT IT DO!
Beautiful, Black, strong, fearless, kind, loving, giving and unapologetic are just a few words to describe the lady that gave birth to me. When I think of the quote, “She get it from her mama,” I can totally agree because I do. My Queen is everything to me.
Born in New York but raised in these Cali streets, my mother was no joke. At a young age she enlisted in the military where she served in the army for over 30 years, faithfully. My mother is the type pf person that will give you the shirt directly off her back. I love listening to her tell stories about my grandmother and great-grandmother. I come from good stock!
Mommy thank you so much for always loving me, supporting me and believing in me. You’re my hero, the real J.I. Jane. Happy Mother’s Day!
