Nevah LaClair is Naomi's no-nonsense mother who cares a lot about her family. She is a stay-at-home mother and takes care of everything around the house and sometimes works down in the restaurant as an accountant. She believes that everyone deserves a second chance and has been shown to be patient and loving when the situation deems it.  She doesn't enjoy dealing with attitudes and will threaten to slap the taste out of someone's mouth. She is also referred to as a "ghetto snob" due to the fact that people assume that she doesn't have any husband or that she has "no class".   

She is strict with her children and tells them to stay away from drugs and not to have babies for her to raise.
