STORY TIME

There I was, living for a living- brunchin, sleeping in, day partying, jet setting with hubs, then boom, PREGNANT- now what!? I can tell you first-hand, the culture-shock of entering the parenting world, and how much you need to know – NOW! As a mommy-to be, I had a million questions and needed them answered quickly and my, my, my had things changed since my mom had me 3 decades ago. 

So I did what any millennial would do and I went to the internet, duh. I searched and searched for answers, recommendations and sage advice, but the majority of bloggers, vloggers, and writers, I noticed didn’t look like me. I was looking for my online best friend in my head to answer all my questions and even the ones I didn’t know to ask. The lack of minority faces in media, parenting magazines, baby commercials, mommy meet-ups, and maternity advertisements was glaring, but not surprising.  I started asking, WHERE WE AT SIS!?

I noticed a void in content for myself and my peers. Cue in this space for the Millennial Mommy with Melanin. A space where we can meet, learn, celebrate our beautiful brown babies and actively engage with one another. 

From matching family pj’s at Christmas, the obligatory photo shoots at every milestone and the over the top birthday celebrations to everything in between, we are the only ones who truly understand each other. MMWM’s are savvy, well informed on current events and the latest tea on Cardi B all the while looking good doing it- most of the time.

Whether a stay at home or working mommy, one thing we all have in common is our love for our little bebe's because after all they’re watching our lead. Whether accompanied by your bebe's daddy shark or doing things on your own this is a place where we will discover together the joys of mommyin’ with melanin, share advice, give product reviews and collectively reclaim our time as the DOPE moms we strive to be.

As an underrepresented community in social media we can collectively support each other on this adventure called motherhood, cus’ let’s face it we parent differently. 

Love ya, Mean it,
