I'm Starlita

I’m a proud Afro-Filipina, wife, and homeschooling mama. You can think of me as your Mama Bestie from Baltimore, tea enthusiast, and lover of all things music, food, and travel! I passionately encourage and support mothers through the highs and lows of motherhood, womanhood, and life by building their confidence, providing resources, and dealing hope and inspiration. If you’re looking to flourish as a mom, you’re in the right place!

Let’s get serious about

black maternal health

Did you know that 1 in 25 moms develop preeclampsia—a common and severe high blood pressure disorder—during pregnancy and the postpartum period? 

For Black moms, the rate is 60% higher than for white moms, and we are more likely to have severe cases, including complications like death. Currently, there is no cure for preeclampsia—but that could one day change!

As a Postpartum Preeclampsia Survivor and Black Maternal Health Advocate, I’ve learned the importance of being an instrument of change. You can also be a change agent by sharing your preeclampsia story or supporting the efforts of others who are seeking to improve outcomes through research, policy, and support of affected mothers and families.
