How Can We Focus On More Positive Things In Our Community
Local moms address National Issues that affect the Black Family
To see the world through the eyes of a Black child isn’t a view that mainstream media covers yet it is one that Black mothers are faced with every moment of each day. Two friends, Mel and Tash couldn’t find the ongoing space for a safe dialogue of Black motherhood, so they created one.

Listen to Mel and Tash on any of the popular podcast forums, such as Google Play, Spotify, iTunes, etc. Mahogany Moms can also be found on social media platforms, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
“I see podcasting as the rising alternative to radio. A lot of my friends listen to podcasting. Why not listen to podcast and feel like you’re listening to your girlfriend in the car?” questioned Tash.
“There are other mom podcasts that talk about issues, but its more about popular culture. Our podcast is timeless and can be listened to at any time over the year and can be shared a
