I’m Skyler, the creator of “The Black Mom.” We are a platform to empower and celebrate the black woman. We cultivate minds, renew spirits, and offer support in a safe place. “The Black Mom” encourages true authenticity as we unite under love for our children.
After having my daughter, I found myself looking for resources to help me navigate as a new mom. I joined various Facebook groups, followed IG pages, and Googled looking for support. I never found anything that truly resonated with me as not only a new mom, but also as a black mom. Now I’m publicly embarking on this wonderful journey as a mom with you and so many other superwomen! I’m here to share my experiences, learn from other moms, and so much more.
Follow along as we share our best practices, mommy hacks, and experiences in motherhood.
✨ Segments drop on Mondays at 10 a.m. EST ✨
