"Nancy Sparrow AI aka "Mama" was born in 1950 right here in San Antonio. She attended Edison High and graduated college with a degree in English. Mama developed a strong career in real estate. Having run and owned her own property management company and managed real estate offices here locally in San Antonio for years, including Century 21 Action Realty, Bradfield Properties and many more. Without the calm, silent influence of my mother by watching her carve a path in a career field often dominated at the time by Men, I would not have what it takes to be who I am today. Her spirit of can do, no matter what she faced, especially in gender inequality moment) was quite a thing to witness and experience. She was a strong, independant, fun, kind, thoughtful, wonderful person and a sensational Mother. She loved her kids, her schnauzer, her friends, her work and her community. I truly hope one day to be half the Woman she was! 

 

Mama was an absolute inspiration to me. I had the great opportunity to watch her navigate through business with such strength, grace, passion, and success. By watching her from a young age I became a strong woman who believed I could do anything just by watching her wonderful example. By watching her, I learned what it is to genuinely care about others and their experience with me, to have fun, to stand up for what is right, to not be taken advantage of yet communicate with gentleness and grace. I'm so grateful for her strong example. Everyday when I would leave our home growing up, Mama would always tell me "Now, Go and Do!"... "Ok Mama, until we meet again, I will Go and Do."

​

Unfortunately, we lost Mama to brain cancer in 2013. This is my special way of connecting her memory and spirit to my vision. She didn't have the opportunity to see this accomplishment, so I named the AI bot after her and created an image that looks just like her! I love any opportunity to honor and feel connected to Mama in any way I can in my life, and thought this would be a fun way to do just that!"
