Meet Our Founder
Portia Nisbeth
I am a Rochester, NY native with Jamaican roots and mom to Kingston. I love a good book, good food, Netflix and my comfy couch! I am also a freelance book editor with a public relations and communications background who believes education is the key to creating the life that I desire.
The idea to start Mighty Mommas came to me when my son was almost two years old. When I was pregnant, there was so much I didn’t know. I wasn’t aware of many of the resources that were available for pregnant women.
Even after several Google searches and asking around, I was always led to the same three spots: Department of Social Services, WIC and Medicaid.
I knew there had to be more information out there but it wasn’t promoted.
​
I wanted to create a destination for single mothers to access resources for us and our children.
