  • God bless you with beautiful childern!!:)

  • Sometimes God will have your gifts an men will never appreciate them. You will listen to that voice saying he's not the one. Spending time with the Lord more you'll get His point of view.

  • taren youre such a naughty naughty.. LOL!!! filming your friends body like that... will is his name? :)

  • had to watch aqain, love it <3

  • Women make excuses for men. Men give you the your a good women speech but i am not ready for that speech because it may be true or they just dont want to be with you seriously period. You may be a good women but they are not in love with you.

  • Nice! (Those are also the steps from "Just Another Girl on the IRT" lol)

  • I have 2 sons and a daughter too and also had to leave a bad relationship with their father as well after staying in it for far to long. So I wish you so so so well with your new freedom and wisdom to live the life that you deserve for you and your children!!! yeah, Taren! lol.

  • thank you for sharing!!!!

  • Oh my gosh your daughter is so cute! This is my daughter's favorite song and she asks me to sing it whenever she is having a hard time doing something ("can you sing the keep trying song mommy"). Great video all around:)

  • OMG SHE IS SO CUTE....I love how she hit those high notes 

  • Another thing, it's best not to even respond to ppl like that. They're like children throwing a fit and desperately seek attention. Don't give it to them. Show them that their comments really are useless and pointless by giving them nothing in response to feed off of.

  • *sigh* Youtube is getting out of hand. All of these crazy, ignorant, idiotic, hateful comments are just plain annoying. What happened to just watching the video, taking it at face value, and moving on with life? I just don't see how ppl conjure up an incredible amount of hate over things and ppl that they don't know anything about (and claim they don't care about). smh

  • The hate is real ladies and gentleman...

  • love Crooklyn!!

  • Love, love, love the personal tidbits and especially the meeting other naturals and listening to your interviews. Thank you for another great clip!

  • Millana . . . I just went through the same thing earlier this year. He even had the nerve to "try" to get back together. I considered it, but then my wonderful aunt told me "Why be like a dog, and go back to your own vomit." Once that was said, everything was clear. =)

  • Second viewing of this. Just realized you said "Fort Greene Park"! WOW! I used to be in that neighborhood and would take my 3 year old son there. Aeons ago!!!!! The Park looks upgraded since I was a young mom looking for some greenery in B'klyn. xxx

  • Jada is SO wonderful! What a musical ear! At the age of two she hears and creates octaves and can harmonize. All this and so beautiful and cute as a button! I am new to your videos. Very well done! I'm a grand mom with a sophomore in University. So know that even old broads like me love you! I really value the talk about your patterns with men. Boy, was I ever there in my youth! Value yourselves 1st, 100%,my Sistas! Recently celebrated my 35th wedding anniversary. It IS possible to have it ALL!

  • Jada is such a beautiful sweet little soul Taren.. girl I had tears in my eyes watching :))

  • OMG I just want to bite Jada's cheeks

  • You all are adorable!

  • on september 18...6:47 that was real talk...guys r like that these days smh...(some men lol)

  • on september 18...6:47 that was real talk...guys r like that these days smh

  • That 1st young lady twist out is gorgeous, is she on YT i wonder

  • I am relaxed with BSL length hair and am really debating on transitioning.....but I'm super scared!!

  • LOL...your baby girl is sooooo cute. I love that song you guys were singing. I to had a list. It helped me to see my pattern & break it. Now I am married to a wonderful man who is nothing like the men of my past. He does not encompass everything on my list, but he defiantly has all the most important qualities. My top ten. I thank God for him everyday.

  • Great video. It was very inspirational to me since I'm finding myself in a very similar situation...you may be getting a letter from me soon. Lol. But your children are beautiful and the ending is the best ever!

  • Comment removed

  • I said that song is too cute! I need to sing that to myself every morning... LOL

  • Your daughter is TOO CUTE! All your kids are great :) Love this vid.

  • Nice collection of clips...thanks for sharing.

  • She has an awesome ear ;)

  • Your baby is so cute! Love the chat between you and your friend.

  • Your little girl is too cute! And she has a good ear. Most children can only sing the melody and not the complimenting parts.

  • Your lil girl is to cute

  • Darian, your smile makes my knees weak. Marry me?

  • You and your kids are so cute together!!!!:D

  • Aaahhh, your daughter has a beautiful singing voice. You have a little star. Too cute. :)

  • so beautiful Taren, inside and out. Can relate to you in a lot of ways

  • Thank you so much for posting this! I could definitely relate to the relationship segment.

  • Will is just tooo fine!!!! Yumm Lol

  • i love this video! thank you for sharing.

  • Thank you for sharing.

  • :-) Beautiful. Thanks for the positive message, and the smile!! Keep trying.... as humans, that's the best we can do!

  • Your video was awesome. I couldn't help but notice an old friend I used to go to high school with. Do you know Jason Smith. I'm pretty sure I saw him in the MJ birthday party clip at the park.

  • Beautiful

  • she is sooooooooooo cute! ...

  • malawna(sorry for the misspelling) looks like she can be your sister

  • omigosh.. taren u are speakin my language when u were talking about patterns in relationships..idk if its a virgo thing or what (funny that that video was on the 18th of sept..my bday!) but i know for me too, I just accept things that are.. i had both of my parents growing up, but they struggled and it was tough as a kid for me but i had to learn to accept things too and thats what happened with me with relationships too, i accepted. I've learned to appreciate myself so i can be appreciated too.

  • Hi Taren, just to say I really loved this video. I can identify with the thing about patterns, and a lot of it stems from my relationship with my dad. But I'm currently experiencing new things in my relationships with men, and it's great! :D Much love! xxx

  • The best ending ever! : D

  • @taren916 your little girl Jada is gonna be a singer one day, watch!

  • Taren your amazing, I see you have a singer on your hands. Your kids are adorable.

  • That was THE most beautiful ending to a video Ive ever seen! It takes a lot out of a person to share yourself with strangers and I am happy that you chose to do so with us. You are such an inspiration and that is a blessing to be rewarded in itself. Again, thank you!

    ~Michelle Long

  • Awww... she's so cute! My kids sing that song too :)

  • Beautiful

  • loved this! :-)

  • That was beautiful when your baby was singing to you "keep trying and don't give up,"

  • that had to be the cutest baby ive ever heard sing..she hit the hi notes..thas so cute

  • Omg almost cried of you and baby girl singing yo gabba gabba :)

  • It was meant for me to watch this video tonight.. Especially about men not understanding your worth. I was in the shower thinking (tmi) and i decided that from now on I will be the priority..I am done with investing the good in me to people who obviously refuse to appreciate whats being given to them.a part of it i believe is some ( not all) of these men were not taught how to be good gentlemen.I grew up thinking that Men were the protector of their household bc that's what my dad did..WRONG!

  • Sooooo beautiful!!! I would make a list of the traits that you DO want in a man. Stay away from what you don't want. Don't give energy to what you don't want, to attract the traits that you desire from a man.

    You attract what you give energy to. No one is above this law of the universe. It is acting on you whether you believe it or not.

    So give energy to what you LOVE in a person, and what you LOVE will show up.

  • i love love love that movie!

    

  • Taren this was a wonderful vid. U have beautiful children! Keep God and positivity around u hun... speaking of Positivity @MissTruthHurtss if u have nothing nice to say don't say it at all. Shame on u! God bless u Taren and fam!

  • you should do these types of vids more often !

  • Wow! You are a great example of a GOOD Mother. I don't know you personally but I'm very proud of you for that. I loved seeing the interaction between you and your children. Your daughter singing was so adorable. I was just smiling the whole time. Good Job Taren!

  • Comment removed

  • I want to say that you are beautiful and obviously very wise. God allows us to go through things for a reason. I thank God, whether you realize it or not, for you doing his work. We do not go through trials and learn from them to keep them to ourselves, share them with the world and let HIS light shine through you so that someone can see it and want to change. I respect you and admire you as a black woman, a mother, and naturalista. Love and respect Taren. God Bless

  • OMG I love your daughter singing!

  • OMG! Jada is SOOOOOO cute!

  • i love how deep u guys got. and i appreciate this throwback, its awesome to look bac and see where u were and to realize the changes from then to now. i was like u where i would always be the giver but never remembered my wants. anytime i guy asked me wat r ur needs and wants i was thrown bac and didnt kno wat to say cuz i never thought about it. but the single life has given me a chance to think of my needs.

    also i love ur daughter at the end. and will is so sexy...hott damn grl lol

  • your kids are adorable, baby girl is too cute and she was on key too singing to the song lol

  • Love this! I really felt it. Thank you for sharing.

  • Beautiful Video Taren!!!!!!!! I Love How You All Discuss Relationship Patterns & Knowing What It Is You Want. I've Had To Do This In My Own Personal Life & I Thank You For Sharing Your Heart With Us & I Love The End Of Your Video With Your Daughter Singing It Was So Cute & The Words Were So Powerful. Continue Doing What You Do & I Wish You Much Success In Your Endeavors God Bless!!!!! :)

  • Not saying I never respected you before, but after this video I respect you so much more. You are definitely someone young girls on youtube can look up to. Be blessed!

  • Your baby!!!! She's so cute!!!! The whole video was entertaining, but your lil one made me smile :)

  • Please Grow your hair back to it's thick long beautiful state. I like it short but looking back now at this Video, you look wayyyyyyyyy hotter with your Hair longer. I'm the same way. Cute with short Cuts but Awesome with longer hair.

  • REMEMBER PEOPLE the DIVORCE RATE HAS CONTINUED TO SKY ROCKET Over the last couple of decades so SINGLE PARENTING IS GONNA CONTINUE TO BE ON THE RISE. Single parenting includes people from all walks of life Not Just teens who go Knocked Up. Once Divorced you are now a Single Mother. You're newly divorced, single and unmarried now.

    EVERYONE CALM DOWN.

  • Your kids are beautiful :)

  • That was all around AWESOMNESS Taren. thank you!

  • awwww ur kids are soo cute.. hard to believe not too long ago we were all once that cute and innocent

  • Thank you Taren. Thank you. Don't stop what ur doing.

  • Your daughter was so adorable at the end. I just took my daughter to see Yo Gabba Gabba yesterday. lol I love your videos

  • I loving the curly hair on you Taren...

  • O my gosh Jada is sooo cute! :)

  • Keep trying! Keep trying! Thanks Jada!!

  • I love this video, I've watched it twice and the finale of the video with one of your little stars Jada, 4 times ! Lol great message as a lot of people can relate to you ladies. Thanks for letting us in to your lives.

  • I was so excited to see this video...and to see the ignorance and the anger from some people is soo sad. I loved the video. Live your life Taren and forget the rest.

  • First off, I know you already know this but I am going to say it anyway.....people will judge the rest of their lives because something will always be missing from their own life. This is typical with most humans. Wish there was a cure but there isn't. I made it a mission years ago to stop judging others because sometimes we do it when we don't even realize it. Secondly, your video was a delight to drink coffee to this AM. Your daughter has a singers voice lol. You should make more of these!

  • I guess all the beautiful people hang out in Brooklyn. Let me move to Brooklyn, maybe I'll find my self a Will. I just love his smile !!!!

  • great vid && BEAUTIFUL kids!

  • Your daughter is SUPER precious! I love Yo Gabba Gabba! LOL. Your sons are cute as well. Ari has a such a great spirit!

  • Your daughter is freaking adorable <3 her singing at the end was priceless <3 beautiful =)

  • Taren, Jada looks like your Mom a little.

  • Taren this video really had me feeling annoyed at the negative people that are writing stuff about you. i'm a kinda new subscriber and i felt like i really connected with you in this video with the not feeling special enough, and yes i didn't grow up with my father either. i had to re-evaluate who i was and to an extent i had to get closer to god and figure out i was worth it and if a guy couldn't give me love and affection like i gave him he wasn't worth it. got alot respect for u,stay strong

  • Why come to the video to watch it and make negative comments. Why watch it at all if you hate her so much. I loved this video however. I appreciate Taren making videos like this it shows she's human and she makes mistakes and experiences growth like everyone else. Spread negativity somewhere else.

  • Taren, I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for posting it. i really enjoy your channel and I can see and feel the love that you have for your children. You are a beautiful woman (inside and outside). I just wanted to send you a note of encouragement because I find you inspiring. :) And Jada will be a great singer! She is so young and already we notice that she is on pitch ! This is not typical for 2 year olds! She has a gift! May God bless you and your children.

  • @TheMisstaylor88 It's my mouth and I can say or write whatever I please. At the end of the day, the truth does really hurt

  • @fashionablek - If you've never sinned, by all means cast a stone, but being sinless, please take a moment to enlighten we who are less perfect. It is the least you could do...testify to your perfect life and how we all can be like you one day by following you perfect path which is...?

  • @fashionablek Get A LIFE AND STOP JUDGING PEOPLE, T IS NOT YOUR PLACE. IF YOU DONT HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY THEN DO NOT SAY IT ALL. Only people who are unhappy with themselves comment negatively about other people whom they do not know.

  • ur daughter's gonna be a great singer when she grows up I can tell

  • Best video ending ever:-))

  • I can relate to Milana

  • Thanks for sharing such a wonderful video! You're such a great inspiration with a beautiful spirit :) Keep on keeping on! Love ya girl!

  • what a sweet, sweet video. Beautiful. Love you Taren!! One of your best throw back vids!

  • Mrbig2407 you must be one of Tarens angry ex boyfriends. And that other angry chick must be you new girlfriend

  • Your daughter singing that song at the end brought a tear to my eye. The lyrics, the innocence, the fearlessness....Gahhh! If it wasn't for children, the world would be such a dreary, hopeless place. This was beautiful. Thank u for sharing!

  • Aww ur lil girl at the end is adorable!!

  • Great video. I relate to what both you and milana were saying. Same patterns. Thanks for sharing. God Bless.

  • Love the video. I relate to what both you and milana were saying. Thanks for sharing.

  • Embrace the positivity and eject that negativity certain people on here try to shoot your way! Acknowledge this: Your kids are BEAUTIFUL and you are FABULOUS remember that! Pray for those who have so much hatred in their hearts that want you as miserable as they are, don't feed into it! WE LOVE YOU TAREN :)

  • On the list of the not tolerate list and what you want in a man list, can you do a response on your list and Milana's? I may do a response video on it as well.

  • On the list of the not tolerate list and what you want in a man list, can you do a response on your list and Milana's? I may do a response video on it as well.

  • I agree with Taren's conversation about the pattern of men as well. I have experienced those type of men. SMH

  • I agree with Taren's conversation about the pattern of men as well. I have experienced those type of men. SMH

  • Milana better preach it!! I totally agree with her about the men conversation. Men these days? SMH

  • I had to favorite. I love the message at the end of the video & your children are beautiful!! :)

  • This was deep... I agree with both of you ladies, if you as a woman don't realize YOUR worth, how can you expect any man to realize it? I wish I had made a list for myself years and years ago- it might have saved me some of the heartache I faced. Thank you so much for sharing your heart.

  • Thanks for sharing and putting yourself out there! Irregardless of what other people think I appreciate your transparency! You are a blessing!

  • @888 well said!!!!!

  • @MissTruthHurtss Get ye behind me Satan! How dare you insult someone who you obviously do not know and has done nothing but try to put out a bit of positivity and advice for others where she can. I hope you find some peace in your own life so as not to have to spew hatred and meanness upon others to make yourself feel better.

  • I think we have a future singer in the making?!?!?!

  • I LOVED this video!!!!! It made my Sunday. Bless you and your beautiful family. I am blessed to be able to learn from your videos. Love the tours of NY. I feel like I am able get away from the stresses of the world for a little while with a good friend who is giving me wise advice that will help me live a better quality of life.

  • And you looked FAB with the big hair and the color, Even back when you did it I never really got a good look at it, and I was kinda iffy but I see why you liked it.

  • My gosh Will is fine, sheesh!! Lol

  • I normally don't sit thru long videos but I must say that I watched this entire video and loved it. First, I LOVE the movie Crooklyn, so thanks for the "steps shot" lol. Also, you and your friend were so right and I can relate to both of you when it comes to men. Point is, do not settle and know your worth. I am a happily single 30 something year old successful woman by CHOICE. And lastly, aaaaawww to your daughter knowing and singing the words to that song. You seem like such a proud mom.

  • God gave you those beautiful children for a reason! Watching this and them has blessed me today. You're in my prayers!

  • This was fun your kids are all so sweet. Your oldest and his love for tigers makes me smile. Your daughter harmony and raising the key. Listen. You know I lived in NYC and never went to fort green park. Like you make me love NYC again.

  • i can really relate to when you were talking about your pattern of men. ive recently found my worth and i will NOT settle haha. Thanks for sharing

  • Some ppl are so damn miserable, they cant help but try to bring others down to their level. Give it up w/ the bullshit!!!! Its her life not yours. And she damn sure is on top of her shit, so sit ur miserable ass down somewhere behind ur computer screen and take a looong look in the damn mirror!. .....Taren you are an inspiration, a beautiful woman/ mother!! Keep doing what you do!!!

  • your kids are beautiful btw :)

  • thanks for sharing taren, dont listen to that little misshurts whatever, she just wanted to bother you

    you're an awesome being and we subbers love your videos and appreciate that you share them with us, keep them coming plzz :)

  • Omg your friend spoke the truth i have the same problem as her!

  • @taren916 don't even use any energy to respond to negative ppl. Keep up d good work

  • ppl will always talk whether u do bad or good, so do u taren, ur supporters love u!!!! shout out from Jamaica

  • You're daughter is so pretty, I have had my own period of judging other people but now I know there is no reason for judging and it doesn't benefit anyone. Thank you for sharing some of your personal stories with us despite what negative judgmental people may think, you might not know but you are touching a young girl with your stories:)

  • Taren you dont have to defend urself to the ignorant people. All women go through a learning process with men, realtionships and life.  Some learn and some dont so they r doomed to repeat the same mistakes. Kudos to u for being brave enough to air your learning process and share with us. Many of us appreciate u. Its easy for some to be rude and pass judgement. Thats a narrow mind you dont have to defend ur self. Love little Jada she was jamming and hitting those high notes. Thx Taren

  • Taren u are such a positive and inspirational women

  • Taren, I absolutely LOVED this. You have so much knowledge to offer. Haters will be haters, and a lot of times their hateful words are a coverup for what they are truly lacking as a person. I can say that you are truly an inspiration, and I urge ALL women, young and old, to view your channel...especially b/c you are able to express things that are merely a thought to others. Thank you so much for being you....continue to push forward! :)

  • Taren

    Accountability is so so..important.thanx for sharing, the children r beautiful and u r as well inside first and outside. A close mouth never gets fed. I will remember that till I die. As Iv gotten older I have become more reserved. I wont be anymore however I will do it tastfully. Blessings come in the most peculiar places and you tube is one of them. Thank u for being honest and transparent that is the marking of a very secure beautiful woman. U will find true love for u and ur fam soon.

  • Just wanted to say thank you for sharing a small piece of your life with us :)

    Your children are beautiful and you surround yourself with beautiful people **Be Blessed**

  • This is some really good footage Taren thank you for sharing. i especially like the footage with you and Milana.

  • Taren, I just read that ladies negative comments. Gee, how judgmental she is, she must live in a glass house. You have beautiful children, they seem well adjusted and happy! God bless. Please ignore the ignorance of fools, as women we all grow and think about our foolish mistakes but children are blessings. We all have had relationships that make us say "why?". Don't let her get you down, please ignore her. I'm a grown woman with 2 daughters and I view you and I admire your strength and charac

  • Seriously, your videos are the only ones I feel compelled to comment on lol anyhow, you have definitely have a little singer, that was absolutely adorable and made me smile super big! Thanks for sharing.

  • Hi Taren,

    I have never commented on a YT video (this is my first). I have been following your channel for a few months, and I had to reply today. This was a beautiful video, and I am so glad that you decided to share this with your viewers. I absolutely loved the video with you and Jada singing "Don't Give Up"--that was very inspiring and funny! I love your videos, and I will definitely keep watching.  Thank you for making me smile today. May God continue to bless you and your family.

  • This video is so Beautiful Taren! You are truly an inspiration! <3

  • You use your phone.....great footage.

  • I have the EXACT SAME pattern as Milana. it is very frustrating! But sometimes good people are just have to stop searching and trying to fix relationships. HE SENDS US MESSAGES! Do not try to make it work. There is a higher power involved!

  • Preach Millana PREACH!!!

  • If I haven't been thinking those same thoughts and telling people that tooo. I want to project and attract something else than what I've been getting. I don't trust my judgement right about now. Separated and trying not to start a physical relationship is... ( you fill in the blank)

  • Ladies stop giving this fool shine... thats all she wants! I HAD to check her page and just like I thought... no face... no content... no nothing!

    Love you Taren! You're an inspiration to us all!

    xxxo

  • girl u got a singer on ur hands and the boys are gorgeous

  • I like you vlogs. The kids parts were really cute. The part with you and Millana was really nice because a lot of women don't get to that point of realizing their patterns. So for the both of you to realize and then try and make a change is inspiring.

  • Omg Ari is so f'ing cuuuuuuuuuuute. and this video was so interesting.

  • this was really nice to watch :)

  • I never ever comment on videos but I needed to make this video my first. Taren, you are amazing. It's sad some woman are so hateful. This is why its so hard for us to have sisterly relationships amongst one another. We are too busy trying to tear each other a part. Peace and blessings to you and your wonderful children.

  • ...God bless you Taren.... We've all faced trials and tribulations!!! God is good honey and he makes no mistakes... Im glad that he is using you for testimony!!! You are a true inspiration.... Keep doing what you are doing and screw the haters that's just the devils work to conquer and destroy! Don't let him win!!!
