Honeycomb Moms is a parenting blog featuring black millennial moms raising their children to be thoughtful, kind and brilliant. It started as a group chat between eight sorority sisters. Now, the women are opening their arms to other moms who want to parent with the support of like-minded women.

The Honeycomb moms have at their disposal hundreds of resources, from recommended black pediatricians to products they use to make life easier. Please use all the moms have to give, but give as you take. Uplift as you climb.

Our Values

Motherhood

There is no guide book comprehensive enough to cover what it means to mother, parent and love with your whole heart. We can give you resources and parenting tips galore, but ultimately we just want you to do your best. We already know you do.

Sisterhood

This is the place where you can be yourself, let down your hair, laugh from your belly and share from your soul. You will be accepted, appreciated and loved here because we are sisters. We cherish women around these parts.

Partnership

There is no successful parenting without thriving, fulfilling and uplifting partnership. We hope yours feeds your soul and adds so much joy to your life that it seeps out into everything you touch. Your child can’t help but strive for that, emulate it and respect it.

Family

Family is more than just a blood tie or obligation. It is a celebration of each member’s differences and of the unity that ties us together. Family is tradition. It is faith. It is knowledge of the past and hope for the future. It is acceptance, and it is love.
