Role Mamas

Some of our favorite Black women on how they became mothers, wives, entrepreneurs, corporate ladder sprinters, & more.

Mengly Hernandez

New York City, New York

Wardrobe stylist Mengly Hernandez has a laid-back attitude that may seem out of place in the hectic, go-go-go pace that is her native New York. But her relaxed approach to life has seen her through a series of life changing events (like her 13-year-old son Ousmane, at 18) that have made the 32- year-old mom stronger. Hernandez spoke candidly with mater mea about how she got to where she is today: a successful businesswoman and confident mom.

Staceyann Chin

Brooklyn, New York

Although the new mom was worried about her now 5-month-old Zuri would “soften” her, the poet Staceyann Chin is as open and outspoken about motherhood and pregnancy as she is about racism, imperialism, and all the other –isms plaguing the world. Chin spoke with mater mea about her difficult pregnancy and how being a mother has changed her life—and her work.

Nasozi Kakembo

Brooklyn, New York

Nasozi Kakembo probably has more passport stamps than the average traveller, thanks to her non-profit job in social justice and travels for her home decor line. But as a mom to a precocious 3-year-old, Kakembo knows her hime is where the heart is. She spoke to mater mea about what goes into shaping both her and her son's world in New York and beyond.

Stephanie Pope Caffey

New York City, New York

Working mom Stephanie Pope Caffey, 48, has had two distance and vastly different careers: as a Broadway performer and actress and as a Bikram yoga studio owner and teacher in Harlem. And she's all but too happy to share the lessons of both experiences with her 9-year-old daughter, Mari, and with mater mea.

Kamara Thomas

Brooklyn, New York

Mythology is the basis for vocalist and bassist Kamara Thomas’ look and sound as a member of Earl Greyhound and a number of other successful New York bands. But the love she has for her daughter, 1-year-old Cherokee Moon, is all real. Thomas, 39, spoke with mater mea about her new solo album and how she stays balanced.

Rhonda Ross

New York City, New York

Rhonda Ross, 41 has enough jobs and passion projects under her belt to make us wonder is she’s found a way to freeze time: she’s president of a boutique real estate brokerage, a musician and a performer. If that’s not enough, Ross has also taught her precocious 3-year-old son Raif four different languages. The daughter of music icon Diana Ross spoke with mater mea about how she does it all.
