On this episode, I talk to public relations powerhouses Simona Noce and Nikki Osei-Barrett about the importance of creating a mom community and their upcoming inaugural event The Momference. Simona and Nikki started District MotherHued in 2016, the premiere organization for millennial moms of color to equip and engage women looking to expand their mom tribe. What started out as a party quickly evolved into a full fledged organization in the DMV area. With events such as the Mom Loft and Mommy En Blanc, it's no wonder moms across the nation want to get in on the action. The Momference will host powerful influencers such as Kahlana Barfield Brown, Instyle Magazine’s Fashion and Beauty Editor and Julee Wilson, Fashion & Beauty Director at Essence Magazine as well as panelist Rainbow Barris, author of Keeping up with the Johnsons: Bow’s Guide to Black-ish Parenting. Speakers will discuss mommy's mental health, the pursuit of perfection and raising future leaders.

Simona Noce is a PR guru and special events maven, but she's a millennial mom first! She was juggling a pr career - which has the craziest hours, evening and weekend events took a toll on her. With all of that, she decided to follow her passion, by adding more to her plate and started a wedding planning business and doing PR on the side while working a full time job. She had to give up the possibility to move up in her career, take great positions in the company, and live in LA or NY. She got to a point in motherhood where she had to follow what she loved and what was best for her family. She loved her career but decided that to be a present and available mom and focus on her passion of events as an entrepreneur, she had to transition and is now the founder of The NoceModel PR and co-founder of District MotherHued. District MotherHUED is the premier organization in Washington DC for millennial moms of color with over 3,000+ moms in the community. District MotherHUED Simona's Instagram
Today we pay homage to two departed legends of music. First, we have Don Cheadle, star and director of the Miles Davis biopic “Miles Ahead.” Then, DJ Bobbito Garcia remembers his friend Malik Taylor, AKA Phife Dawg of A Tribe Called Quest who passed away last week. Dave’s ‘Choice Words’ are call for NBA Commissioner to move the 2017 All-Star weekend away from Charlotte in light of a recent North Carolina anti-trans law, and a somber ‘Just Stand Up’ goes to Dave’s departed friend Kevin Turner. The former Alabama and NFL running back lived with dignity and strength before succumbing to ALS a week ago.Special thanks: Mike Sheils, Simona Noce, Maya Anand, Donna Daniels, Kathryn Tyus-Adair, Jennifer Allen, Mike Nasella, WPFW 89.3 FM.—‘Miles Ahead’ film: http://sonyclassics.com/milesaheadZirin: The NBA Needs to Move the 2017 All-Star Game FromCharlotte.
