Wanted: Phenomenal Working Moms

ESSENCE is on the lookout for African-American working moms who manage to balance having a great career with taking wonderful care of their family and themselves! These super-moms need to be willing to share their secrets to success: Do they enlist her older kids to help younger siblings with homework? Do they trade off babysitting with other girlfriends who have kids? Did they start their own business so they could make their own hours at home?

We’re open to everyone, but would love to profile:
• a single or divorced mom
• a mom who stays at home, but runs her own business
• a mom with a developmentally disabled child
• a mom with a very large family (more than five kids)
• a mom with multiples who are still young

Moms, please email us at healthyliving@essence.com and tell us about your family, your career, and how you look out for yourself as well. Please include your name, age, geographic location and a photo of yourself.
