Welcome to the REbel Mama
A “Mom Blog” for the rest of us
At the helm of this ship are two women – Nikita Stanley and Aleks Jassem – a pair of former party-girls who got unintentionally pregnant within weeks of each other and went from acquaintances to best friends in a (fetal) heartbeat.
In 2014, the two unlikely moms combined their talents and mutual distaste for the typical mommy rhetoric and created The Rebel Mama(.com). Adored by cool moms the world over, the smart and edgy online publication creates a safe and judgement-free space that’s known for its celebration of both individuality and authenticity.
Between the two of them, Aleks and Nikita are mamas to three kids, a dog, and a cat. They reside in Toronto, Canada and survive (almost) exclusively on peanut butter sandwiches, Napolitano pizza, and coffee. So much coffee.
Our Mom Story
Being the digital creatures we are, when we got pregnant we both immediately turned to the internet for support. Upon arrival, we were disappointed to find an uninspired, antiquated vision of motherhood that left us feeling misunderstood and isolated.
We were modern mothers, FFS. We were individuals. We were not confined to historical norms or traditional family structures. We were smart, multifaceted women. We needed something better. We needed something cooler.
And so we spent our maternity leaves (and beyond) building a blog and a community all our own.
Very quickly, we realized that we had not been alone in our distaste for the status quo. This whole time, an entire generation was out there too – desperately searching for engaging content, meaningful community connections, and valuable online information sources. These women needed someone to speak to them and they needed someone to speak for them in a larger conversation about the state of modern motherhood – The Rebel Mama was up to the task.
WHAT MAKES THEM REBELS?
It’s all in the attitude.
The Rebel Mama(s) are bold enough to be confident, fearless enough to be honest, and they’re brazen enough to set out to change the world.
So here’s to a different way of doing motherhood. Here’s to #mamaswithBDE. And here’s to you, you stone cold fox. Let’s get through this all motherhood stuff together, shall we?
