MingleMediaTV Wed. 4PM PACIFIC, 7PM EST

This week on MingleMediaTV, Wed. 4PM PACIFIC and 7PM EST, we’ll be interviewing Hawaiian artist Skye- The Soul Poet, who performed at Mamapalooza Festival in New York during the 2010 season, and listening to some of her music including ‘Cornbread, Muffins & Pies’, perfect fare for this holiday season. Also, feminist perspectives with Joy Rose – The Media Mom™, music, commentary and culture.

Circus Without A Tent

When Mamapalooza staked out a place in the stratosphere, we were first out of the gate with a strong mission to create an entire culture of Mom-based business and art. I guess, looking around, we’ve been more successful than I ever could have imagined. Mom bloggers abound. Mom-made businesses are claiming their real estate in the small business and corporate world faster than you can blink. Café Mom has gone on to become a phenomenon, and I have stopped having to describe to people what ‘Mom Rock’ is. *I sold the saying to Ephemera in 2004 so they could create buttons and magnets that say ‘Moms Rock’.

Here’s To Good Friends, Old Friends, New Friends

This is the time of year when old friends find each other, family members connect, communities take stock and individuals ask ‘why’? Sometimes it’s ‘why me?’ Sometimes, ‘why not?’. Often the best reminder of how to move forward with the challenges we all face; disappointment, unfulfilled expectations or difficult relationships, while still finding ways to live authentically and confidently, means making peace with the past and finding gratitude in all things. Here at Mamapalooza, we’ve been doing our best, daily, monthly and yearly to amplify your voices and spread the good word about women and mothers in business, the arts and beyond, since 2002. Please consider joining the movement that celebrates your unique style and expression, in a supportive, collaborative environment. You can become a MamaMember here. Enjoy this latest video by Mary Lemanski. (Don’t smoke. Don’t drink. Too Much.) Have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving all. Moms Rock!
