About Us

Mocha Moms, Inc. began with the publishing of a newsletter called Mocha Moms in the hopes of connecting mothers of color with each other. The newsletter was intended to encourage these mothers to feel good about their choice as well as to provide information to help them be the best and most important influence in their children’s lives. It was distributed to over 100 moms across the country in the spring of 1997. During the summer of 1997, moms in Prince George’s County, Maryland decided to form a support group called Mocha Moms, Inc. There are now over 100 chapters of Mocha Moms, Inc. throughout the United States and the organization is continually growing and evolving to meet the needs of our moms, their families, and their communities.

Mocha Moms, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Mocha Moms, Inc. does not discriminate against any person, regardless of demographic status. Anyone who supports the mission and purpose of Mocha Moms is welcome to join.

The Jersey Shore Chapter was chartered in July 2018 by 7 mothers from the area, Tyniesha Douglas, Naa Garrison, Rosalind Larrieux, Sabine Richardson-Browne, Shawanda Beale, Danielle Staten Lamb and Sajdah Muhammad.  We are looking forward to touching the lives of many moms through meaningful support and fun and enriching activities.
