Black moms need support, period. Whether you are facing postpartum depression, are having a hard time making friends in your new city, or just need somebody to talk to, finding a mom tribe can be the key to opening your next door sis.
When I moved back home after a 5-year stay in Brooklyn, I’d outgrown all my friends and was feeling kinda lonely. There were no support groups that I felt like fit the mold of my part-time working/stay-at-home Black mom/wanna be entrepreneur status of my life. So, I started my own. Seven years later and our support group for Black moms has ballooned from 5 moms meeting at my house to over 4,000 in the nation’s most livable city, Pittsburgh, PA.
Since we are damn near bursting at the seems, we’re happy to announce that Brown Mamas is going national. If you feel like I did, and know you need to find your tribe, think about starting a chapter of Brown Mamas in your city. We will provide all the infrastructure for you to get started, all you have to do is find your friends. We’ll guide you every step of the way.
If you ain’t that advantageous, and trust me I get that too, check out the sistah sites below. All of these organizations have awesome women heading them up and are ready and willing to be your tribe. Click around below and be sure to share this post, so that the solo sistahs you know will soon be surrounded by so much #blackgirlmagic that they’ll have to live their best life too. Now go on, find ya tribe sis!
