Since we’ve always loved chatting about the blessings and challenges of being a mom, as well as work, spirituality and fun popular topics, we’ve decided to create the High Vibes And A Mic. -Where Multicultural Moms Connect Podcast.

As women, we know the importance of finding a tribe and having a good time. Our podcast seeks to help you do just that. So join us for laughter, thoughtful discussions, and a few surprises along the way!
