Nice to meet you, mama! I'm Melissa. I started mama wears pants (MWP) as a personal blog at the end of 2016, but the truth is I never wanted this to be about me. I also wasn't very fond of blogging, but it seemed like the starting point for community, which is what I was primarily interested in as a middle aged mama pregnant with her second child. From the start, my intention with this project was COMMUNITY. I wanted to bring bold, courageous, and authentic mamas together because I know our collective experience and wisdom can benefit all of us. I also know we're busy and our time is valuable. Fast forward to October 2021, in the midst of the covid pandemic and on the anniversary of my new alcohol-free lifestyle, I soft-launched mama wears pants as a wellness community and social network for bold, yet busy mamas. Over two years since launching, I am proud of how far we've come and even more excited about the possiblities ahead. Our diverse community now includes twenty one Founding Members and three mamas (plus myself) on the MWP Team. Plus, we have created and continue to revise our regular programming with a focus on family, wellness, and community, while keeping bold, busy mamas in mind. |

No matter what stage of motherhood you're in, I invite you to connect with our diverse MWP Community via social media and plan to join us at an upcoming event (in-person or on-line).
mama wears pants is the community here to support you in prioritizing yourself through motherhood. Because you matter, mama! Stay bold, Melissa Sustaita Acosta |
