About Us

Mamas Mosaic was born from lived experience. After navigating grief, postpartum depression, and witnessing firsthand the gaps in support for Black maternal mental health, I knew something had to change. I needed a space rooted in care, understanding, and connection. A space where women could gather freely, be seen, and share their stories without having to explain or justify their pain.

As I entered motherhood, the truth that I was motherless became impossible to soften. My mother passed in 2019. My postpartum journey was marked by deep isolation. Most days were spent alone with my newborn. When my husband started a new job that required travel. There were stretches of time where I cared for my little and breastfed on demand for more than 48 hours at a time. The days blurred together. I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and constantly second-guessing myself. Was I doing this right? Why did I feel so sad when I was supposed to be happy?

The image you see here comes from that season. It still brings me to tears. I can see the loneliness in my eyes, even as I tried to capture moments of joy. I took countless photos then, but what no one saw was how detached I felt. The more I shared, the more invisible I became.

I experienced intrusive thoughts, deep fatigue, and a quiet heaviness that felt all-consuming. Still, I showed up each day trying to be warm and joyful for my son. I worried that he could feel how much I was struggling, even when I smiled through it. I did not feel like I had permission to say out loud how hard it really was.

So I built the thing I needed most. Community.

Mamas Mosaic is a judgment-free space where women can lean in, speak honestly, and say the quiet parts out loud. Through peer-led support gatherings, advocacy, and meaningful partnerships, we center emotional well-being and collective care. We collaborate with hospitals, community organizations, and providers to bridge lived experience with clinical care, ensuring women are supported as whole people, not just patients.

This work is personal. It is lived. And it is rooted in the belief that no woman should have to navigate grief, postpartum, or mental health challenges alone.

Desiree Logan, MBA, Founder

I found Mamas Mosaic when I needed it most. After living in four states in four years, navigating major life transitions while learning to be a mom, I was searching for genuine connection. What I found was a community that held space for the fullness of who we are—the joy, the grief, the questions we’re afraid to ask out loud.

Desiree and I connected over a shared reality: learning to mother without our own mothers. That bond, and the Grace in Grief series, became anchors for me. Grief is lifelong. It doesn’t pause when we become mothers, partners, or professionals. Learning to honor that grief while still showing up fully in every role we carry—that’s the work that moves me most.

I’m an educator and researcher by training, and a new mother figuring it out as I go. Right now, I’m in what I call a “power pause”—a season where I’m fully present with my toddler, soaking in this chapter, while also staying true to my identity and ambitions beyond motherhood. I’m learning how to weave those parts of myself together with intention, honoring where I am while keeping sight of where I’m going.
As a partner with Mamas Mosaic, I support programming and explore opportunities that center Black maternal health and well-being. I bring my background in education and research to help us think critically about how we serve Black mothers—not with surface-level support, but with depth, care, and real impact.

I believe community should be more than just feel-good moments. It should be transformative. My hope is that every woman who walks into a Mamas Mosaic space leaves feeling seen, empowered, and reminded that she doesn’t have to carry it all alone.
