On this episode, we meet Monique Williams, mom and up-and-coming rapper. According to a 2017 study by Market Researchers OnePoll, if motherhood was treated like an official job, moms would clock in at almost 100 hours a week. Those numbers definitely reflect Williams’ work week. As a mother of five, she spends her days like most stay-at-home mothers — sending her sons off to school each morning, doing chores around the house, and preparing food for her family. But in the evenings and on the weekends, Williams transforms into MoeBetta ThaGoddess, a rapper performing at venues across Syracuse. A few years ago, at the suggestion of a friend, Williams began putting the poems she wrote to beats, creating songs that reflect both the joys and struggles of her life. MoeBetta ThaGoddess has since pushed 20 songs to SoundCloud, including her latest album, Pain for Profit.
