Tawana Bain This is a tribute to Moms! In my opinion, every day is Mother's Day! Motherhood is a journey that spans a lifetime, weaving intricate tapestries of love, sacrifice, challenges, triumphs, and embarrassments, to name a few!

Tawana Bain & Amelia Frazier Living Sisterhood Out Loud Written by Christine Fellingham & Tawana Bain Anyone who knows me– even just a little bit– knows this to be true: “Sisterhood” is not just a word for me. It’s a way of life. I unapologetically surround myself with strong, supportive women who live authentically, show up consistently and are willing to step up and be not just sounding boards but real allies when life gets challenging. There’s no age, race, sexual persuasion that defines these women. It’s authenticity and chemistry. My sisters are [...]
