WELCOME TO MOCHA MOMS, INC. BERGEN COUNTY CHAPTER!
Mocha Moms, Inc. is a national organization that serves as a support group for stay-at-home moms of color. The Bergen County Chapter is unique. Most of our members work full-time. Our goal is to support the decisions made by our members. We will never pass judgment on mothers who choose to make or are forced to make different decisions for their families. Mocha Moms welcomes people of all religions, races, educational backgrounds and income levels. Anyone who supports the mission of Mocha Moms is welcome to join.
OUR HISTORY:
In May 1997, Jolene Ivey and Karla Chustz began publishing a newsletter called "Mocha Moms" in the hopes of connecting with other mothers of color across the country that were taking time off from their careers to raise their children. By August of 1997, Jolene and Karla teamed up with Cheli English-Figaro to make Mocha Moms a national support organization. Joby Dupree came on board as the fourth founder in the fall of 1997 and Mocha Moms, Inc. was born. The first chapter was established in Prince George's County, Maryland.
Mocha Moms, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Maryland in 1999 and received 501 (c)(3) non-profit status in January 2002. Today we have over 100 chapters worldwide.
ABOUT US:
The Bergen County Chapter was chartered in May 2004. Today our chapter has over 30 members. As we continue to grow, our goal is to support and empower more moms of color and strengthen our voice in the community. Other goals include but not limited to:
To provide an outlet for Moms to reassure them they are not alone
- To teach our children to give back and improve our community
- To have a strong commitment to marriage and support our husbands
Bergen County Mocha Moms is a group of positive women bonded by motherhood and sisterhood.
