Women's History Month

March is Women's History Month, a time for us to focus on the contributions women have made to our country- our history, our culture, our government, and our overall society. The theme for this year is "Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories". Too often, as mothers of color, our stories go untold. Let's commit ourselves this month to telling our children our stories, and the stories of those who came before us: our mothers, their mothers and all the women in our families who kept our families going.

Mocha Moms, Inc. Statement on the Death of Tyre Nichols

Once again we have witnessed the murder of another Black man at the hands of police while calling out for his Mama. We didn’t have to watch the video to witness the tragedy or experience the trauma. We all are the Mamas of Tyre Nichols, Armaud Arberry, George Floyd, Brionna Taylor, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Trayvon Martin, and so many more.

We are tired.

We are infuriated.

We are heartbroken.

We are also motivated to see and make change. Black mothers have, throughout history, been the ones to affect change. Clearly, we have to do that now. There are many efforts to join. Let’s start with the Color of Change petition for some very specific and realistic demands that closely mirror the demands we laid out in 2020, after the murder of George Floyd.

End the practice of pretextual stops, and give the Community Law Enforcement Review Board (CLERB) the power to hold officers accountable
Fund a civilian response unit
Eliminate the Organized Crime Unit (OCU), and have transparency and oversight over all special units

We’re asking you to sign the Color of Change Justice for Tyre Nichols petition.

African American Women and Breast Cancer - What You Should Know:

A US woman’s lifetime risk of breast cancer is 1 in 8.
Breast cancer has the highest mortality rate of any cancer in women between the ages of 20 and 59.
African American women have a 31% breast cancer mortality rate – the highest of any U.S. racial or ethnic group.
Among women younger than 45, breast cancer incidence is higher among African American women than White women.
Younger women in general, and younger African American women in particular, are more likely to present with the triple negative subtype of the disease, a subtype that is both more aggressive and associated with a higher mortality.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence launched this month nationwide in 1987 “to not only educate and raise that awareness but bring the support and strength that domestic violence victims need.” According to the Coalition, an incident of domestic violence occurs in the U.S. every 15 seconds. Think about that Mochas. Every 15 seconds. Around 10 million people are impacted each year, and it’s not just women…men and children too. In most instances, it occurs behind closed doors, in secret. Victims are often fearful and suffer in silence. Chances are you know someone who is currently suffering or has suffered the pain of domestic abuse. It can happen to anyone. You, yourself, may even be a victim…yet often, nothing is done about it. We must break this chain of domestic abuse that dampens our souls and damages too many of our families. We must not only support those who are victimized, often we need to be the ones to stand up and be their voice. Shout it from the mountaintops ladies…nothing about domestic violence is okay.

To learn more about the warning signs of domestic abuse, visit domesticviolence.org.

If you or someone you know is in desperate need of help, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline for anonymous, confidential assistance at 1-800-799-7233.

Spread the word and never forget…we are each other’s keeper.

On behalf of the National Board, New Horizon International Church and the Jackson, MS community say thank you.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness month. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, approximately 1.3 million women and 835,000 men are victims of physical violence by a partner every year. About 85 percent of domestic abuse victims are women and 15 percent are men. The statistics are alarming for people of color who are disproportionately affected and may find it difficult to seek help. It is vital that we continue to discuss this epidemic of abuse in our community year round, know how to recognize it and seek help. Domestic violence can come in many forms, including physical, emotional, psychological and financial.

If you are experiencing domestic abuse, please go to the National Domestic Violence Hotline for help. If you are in danger, call 911.

After graduation, Linda attended CSU, Sacramento and earned a BA in Ethnic Studies.

Mocha Tweens and Teens Network

Donna C. Clayton, Tweens and Teens Network Director

The pandemic has deeply impacted people of all ages, but imagine being a tween or a teen during this time. They are missing a friend group, a sports team, a club/organization, and have been trapped in the house for what feels like forever. In light of these times, the Mocha Tween and Teen Network is here to provide a platform that fosters creativity and encourages expressions & connections with other Mocha TnT (tweens and teens) in a safe, virtual environment.

The Tweens and Teens Network is run at the chapter level by the Tweens and Teens Network Chapter Liaison with the assistance of the chapter president and chapter board. If you have tweens and teens, now is a great time to join the network. All current Mocha Moms, Inc. members are welcome by clicking HERE.

Mochas with Adult Children

Debra Stern, Mochas with Adult Children Network Director

As we move into the mothering phase of our lives where our children are grown and flown, as we face an empty nest, as we work through the changing role of ourselves to our adult children, the power of Mocha Moms sisterhood is still as important for you as it was when our babies were babies. The Mochas with Adult Children Network (Mocha MAC) was developed for all of the Mochas out there moving into the new phase of their mothering journey where the kids are grown and flown. Many Mochas in this stage of their lives, with children who are college-aged and beyond, still want to connect with other Mocha Moms on a similar life path and this network is there for you.

The Mocha MAC is a new and exciting network for Mocha Moms, Inc. as the organization moves forward to acknowledge the different phases of the mothering journey. Mocha MAC has quickly become a space for Moms to come together to talk about this new role, share resources on life at a certain age and explore the many layers of being the parent of adult children. The mothering role is still significant, but different. The needs of the family are different. The support and connection that we all had with Mocha Moms when our children were young is still necessary as our children grow and family dynamics shift. The questions and concerns are still there, the need for support and sisterhood still necessary. Whether you are parenting an older teen or young adult in high school and college or adjusting to an empty nest, the Mocha MAC Network might be just the right community of Mocha Moms like you.

The Mocha MAC network has been going strong for almost one year now. As a network with Moms all over the country, we have leaned into the virtual world to put together a variety of programs of interest to the group. Kicking off with a virtual Book Club Zoom focusing on the book Grown and Flown: How to Support Your Teen, Stay Close as a Family, and Raise Independent Adults by Lisa Hartman and Mary Dell Harrington, the network has been meeting on a monthly basis around many fun and interesting “virtual” experiences, including cookie exchange, Paint and Sip and Vision Boarding.

Debra Stern, the Mocha MAC Network Director, is a mother of two grown and flown daughters in college and one son still at home in high school. The group has quickly gelled into a supportive group of Moms at similar places in their mothering journey. Along with the monthly meetings, the group has ongoing communication to provide support to each other as Mocha Moms do.

If this sounds like just the network you are looking for, we hope that you will consider joining the network. We welcome any new current Mocha Moms, Inc. members and if you are interested, click HERE to join the network.

Marriage Support Network

Brooke Hawkins, Marriage Support Network Director

This pandemic and quarantine have been challenging for all of us, especially as it relates to marriage. Pre-pandemic, most couples saw each other for a couple hours during the week, and maybe a few more hours on the weekend due to work, family obligations, and sometimes just the desire to have a break. But with most people having to work from home, or being laid off, couples are spending more time together than ever. I recall someone saying, "I didn’t sign up to be married 24/7!"

This is where the Marriage Support Network comes in handy. Just like Mocha Moms, Inc. is designed to offer support at every stage of motherhood, the Marriage Support Network is available for the same purpose. Being in close quarters with your spouse for close to a year can have varying effects on people. While some people have grown closer, others have started to feel boxed in and trapped. Both feelings are valid but sometimes you need the support of other married Mochas to make sense of it all.

To be clear, this network is not a substitution for therapy. We are not licensed or qualified to provide the type of assistance that some major marital problems require. There are no long couches over here!

But what the Network does offer is a safe space to request advice, receive information, and occasionally be challenged to go the extra mile in your marriage. Currently, members are involved in an Intimacy Challenge and every week they are given a task ranging from asking their spouse how they want to be loved; having a spontaneous date night; or indulging in self-care so they can be the best spouse they can be.

The Network also assists chapters in planning their Black Marriage Day and Single Parents’ Day celebrations. Though the Network is specifically for married Mochas, we show the utmost love and support to all of our single Mochas as well.

In the future, the Marriage Support Network would love to host mini marriage conferences that focus on intimacy, financial education, communication, etc. We are here to offer support in whatever capacity is needed.

Marriage, like motherhood, has its ups and downs and its unique challenges. I can’t think of a better way to conquer these challenges than with the judgment free support of my married Mochas.

We welcome any new current Mocha Moms, Inc. members and if you are interested, click HERE to join the network.

*Note: We understand that not all of our Mochas are married and I would be remiss if I didn’t encourage chapters to make sure they do not neglect their single members.

Homeschooling Network Is Here For You!

Onnikah Randolph, National Homeschooling Network Director

Now more than ever before, we as mothers have been called upon to not only be our child’s first teacher as a parent, but to also continue to educate them far beyond the "norm." For some of us Mochas, educationally, this pandemic has been no different than any other school year. And for some, like myself, we made a decision last school year to take on the responsibility of Homeschooling our children, our way, in our home. For MANY more Mochas, this pandemic has brought on far more of an educational load than we ever expected or even desired to engage in with our children. No matter the side of the spectrum you find yourself on as a Mocha, the Homeschooling Network is here for you.

The Homeschooling Network is here to be a safe haven as well as a resource for Mochas that are taking on the responsibility of homeschooling their child(ren). Homeschooling has so many layers as well as choices for us to make. You may be a Mocha that is schooling your child at home while they attend class with their local community school online daily. You may also be a Mocha that decided years ago that homeschooling is the best option for your child and family. Then there is also the Mocha that has been schooling their child at home during the pandemic and, somewhere along the way, is debating if you would like to take on homeschooling full time with your child(ren). No matter where you are in your homeschooling or schooling at home journey, the Homeschooling Network is available to be a resource.

As a homeschool network, we are here to provide support, education, resources, laughs, and even MORE support to one another. We understand the challenges and triumphs that can come along with homeschooling. We are here to discuss the topics that are of most importance to you. The Homeschooling Network is here to celebrate, be your sounding board and help you maintain your sanity throughout your homeschool journey. You are not alone. There are some homeschool Mochas that speak your language and have your back!

The Homeschooling Network encompasses a group of likeminded Mochas who are able to see and identify the need for and the benefits of homeschooling their children to become the best versions of themselves possible through a way that may not be viewed as the "norm" where you reside.

This network is a private network that is available to current members of Mocha Moms, Inc. only.

Members, feel free to join the Homeschooling Network HERE. If you have any questions, about the network, please clickHERE.

Martin Luther King, Jr. National Day of Service

Tiffany Kerr, National Director of Community Service

The 26th Anniversary of a day "on," not a day "off."

As we take a moment to pause, reflect and honor the man who continues to inspire our nation, we remember the love that was emphasized in service and encouraged by how we treat one another. We think back with humility how much our people wanted equality no matter their race, color or creed. We strive to pass on this history and mission of servitude. Martin Luther King, Jr. is a reminder of the work we all can do.

2020 brought its challenges, resulting in so many people in need and struggling just to get by. Mocha Moms responded across the country and made it a priority to serve their local communities. Even in the midst of a pandemic, Mocha Moms strived to uphold consistent, meaningful service.

The National Board of Mocha Moms, Inc. congratulates each chapter and all members for thinking of others and sharing the spirit of Mocha love and service.

Mocha Moms, Inc. Serves Communities Nationwide!
