Spent about an hour today packing #tshirts and about 35 minutes at the post office. @essence featured my tshirts for #blackmoms on their website and I was inundated with orders. I'm so thankful that magazines like Essence exist. They've been such an integral part of the growth of my #smallbusiness If you're local to #Pittsburgh it's not to late to get your t-shirt for #mothersday ...just visit brownmamas.com/shop or the #linkinbio and select local pickup at checkout #melinatedmoms #blackmomsbelike #newmoms #blackstayathomemoms #brownhomeschooler #momlife #blackmomswhoblog

People always ask me what I'm reading. As a lover of all words printed on paper, I find that reading genres, about ideas and authors that are completely foreign to me alongside the plethora of books from authors who's words I adore and treasure helps me to see words and create thoughts that illuminate their works in ways I'd never imagined. We The People has been a great read thus far. It is the story of how the 14th Amendment, originally created to provide equal rights to all citizens (i.e. #blackfolks ) after slavery ended has been strategically and systemically used by corporations to gain the very same rights of protection. #goodread this should be a #blackread #authorsofinstagram by Adam Winkler ( not Black 😉)

Lunch just ended and I've learned sooo much already at the @healthystart_pgh #breastfed symposium! Listen to Healthy Start's founder drop some jewels! #blackmamasmatter #blackmomspgh #Pittsburghmoms

I'm learning that learning through conferences is #bae. #blackmamasmatter #hsipghsymp2019 #hsibreastfed #thingstodoinPittsburgh

Long message alert! I had to wait until I got home to completely process what being at the @mom2summit meant to me. Acknowledgement & Accountability. That’s what I left with. Until last week I had no idea that people actually value my contribution. I know my #Pittsburghmoms have been telling me for a long time that they appreciate me, but to be honest it never sunk in. I just move from project to project, person to person, doing what I do. But to have women from other place who are PHENOMENAL women doing the damn thang say they have read my book, listened to my TEDx talk or just know who tf I am, felt like I’d never heard it before. PLUS, in the words of Beyonce there was so much damn swag at this conference. From @themariaantoinette who stepped on the scene looking like a page outa essence to @momsncharge bringing the Afro-chic flava and seeing @NatashaNichols not give two damns about hugs and STILL win TWO Iris awards. Not to mention the #blackgirlboss moves made by @brandijeter and @michelledgarrett ...it was just too damn much. I met tons of Black women who were just gettin' it! @tomikatalks whole crew was dope! I left having gained two #foreverfriends in @momworksitout and @babbling_blonde - the best roomies in the universe. Getting to present with @glamnellie (who is killin it in the game) and @sugarlandmoms was empowering as hell. I didn’t win either of the two IRIS Awards I was nominated for BUT I came home with a new mission of NO MORE GOT DAMN EXCUSES. Imma live my best life...Imma shine in all my black girl greatness...Imma be me, unapologetically but with humility, kindness and sooo much got damn swag ….WHAT A MF CONFERENCE #mom2summit #1430moms
