What is Mothering Tea?

I sat on my bathroom floor covered in my own tears not knowing why. After a deep dive into my inner thoughts, actions, and prohibitions, I realized I was overwhelmed with all the demands of mothering and sustaining my home. I felt so alone because moms, especially black moms are pillars of strength and needing support or a break has not been openly encouraged or even available. I started Mothering Tea to help other moms feel seen, validated, and supported. Sending a thoughtful gift does just that while providing a gentle reminder to breathe and be.
