The First Ladies of the Hillside are forging a new path for themselves. Their friendships formed and grew on Zoom during the pandemic. And now, they are looking beyond their group, and how to help all families in the Hillside.
They are also helping UMD students understand more about the ways of the world. Grace McLarnan is one of those students. She is now a fixture in the First Ladies. She met them through a brain development class lead by Molly Harney. They ve had their struggles, of course. But they embody a saying a teacher in high school told me. Lift as you rise. They are growing personally, and they are trying to give other people a hand up as well, Grace told us. They are so positive, trying to make things better for their kids.

What do coffee, cleaning up, and conversations about parenting have in common? They are all projects that the First Ladies of the Hillside have poured their hearts into.
The group formed on Zoom during the pandemic, thanks to Wi-Fi connection at the Steve O Neil apartments. They re now a strong group of mothers and leaders who are supporting each other in all ways.
One of the women is a survivor of domestic violence. Like the other First Ladies, she s an artist. And she uses many mediums. Jewelry making is probably my favorite thing to do, she told us. She began with rosaries and dream catchers when she was a child.
