Aniké's Why: Championing the Woman Behind the Role of Mom

Let's show up for moms. They do so much, and they deserve so much in return.

I’m not a mom myself (unless you count being a very devoted cat mom ... I promise I'm joking! I know it doesn't count lol), but I admire the power and impact of motherhood and believe very deeply in supporting the woman behind the mom. 

I’ve been shaped by the love, strength and care of the moms in my life, especially my own (see adorbale photo below). I know how much it matters when a mom is seen, encouraged and given the space to grow into the best version of herself.

That’s why I joined the Associate Board of New Moms, a Chicago nonprofit that partners with young moms as they work toward stable housing, job training, college success and overall well being for themselves and their families.

If this mission speaks to you too, I’d love your support! Donating, spreading the word or shopping Bright Endeavors candles (made by moms in the program), truly makes a difference.
