How It Got Started

Hi, my name is Shanika Green, and I created The Ministry of Mom for moms just like you.  I know what it’s like to try to balance it all on your own, and there’s nothing like a community of other moms who truly get you to help make the experiences feel more normal.

​

I founded the Ministry of Mom because it’s everything I needed from the time I had my son at 19 to now as I’m raising a teen. Working full time as a single mom, while balancing school full time always proved to be difficult. But I was able to accomplish this feat twice. I credit a lot of my success to the women who rallied around me and made me believe I could achieve ANYTHING. You can too, I truly believe in you. You just need the right community and team behind you. 

​​

Oftentimes I hear moms say that they feel lost in their careers and don't know what their next step is. I'm here to tell you, the next step is forward. And I will be right there with resources and the help you desire to achieve your career goals. Just like the community that rallied behind me. 

​

 What started as a Facebook group where we shared recipes, stories, and parenting tips, has evolved into a real community of support and togetherness. We are moms from all walks of life navigating and balancing careers and motherhood simultaneously -- we need all the help we can get. And let me say it loud and clear… it’s okay to ask for help, and you deserve to feel heard and to have help building the tools to navigate this life.
