Founder Publisher of Solo Mommy Magazine Stays True to Mission



Feona Sharhran Huff, Founder & Publisher of Solo Mommy Magazine -- the publication dedicated to empowering single moms with savvier ways to live a simpler life since 2001 -- continues to do what she initially set out to do. As a result, this past March, the veteran journalist (FYI: she'ss written for Essence, The Source, The Network Journal, Upscale, The New York Amsterdam News, CB Teen, SheInk, and Our Time Press) and single mom was presented with the Accomplished Entrepreneur award by the Women'ss Center for Education and Career Advancement and Con Edison at their annual Women'ss History celebration at Brooklyn Borough Hall for her outreach to an underserved market and tenacious approach to making the magazine a reality.



In May, Feona held the Solo Mommy Magazine'ss 2nd Annual Mother'ss Day Brunch where she honored three single moms from New York. Guest speakers included Congressional candidate Carl Andrews, Senate candidate Eric Adams, and Councilwoman Letitia James.



Recently, Feona was interviewed for a podcast with Sister Space. The podcast will be there for one more month before it is archived. Because of a new partnership with a prominent women'ss radio website, Sister Space is sharing some of its interviews on the site which reaches large groups of women and women'ss organizations. Feona'ss interview will be on their radio hub homepage from August 2nd until August 9th and then will be archived on their site also. This adds to her media coverage, which includes The New York Times, The New York Daily News, Ebony, ePregnancy, Upscale, WOC (Woman of Color), Today'ss Black Woman, The Philadelphia Tribune, The Virginian-Pilot, Christian Womens Resources, Radioscope, WWRL 1600 AM, SUCCEED, Deep Talk, and SuccessBound TV.



Additionally, Feona and Solo Mommy Magazine have partnered with Christian Womens Resources to provide single mom profiles and features for the site'ss Solo Moms webpage.



Feona is also excited to announce that she was just selected as Sister of the Month (SOM) for August at Sister 2 Sister 4 Christ'ss website. As a SOM, she will have a featured article in Sister 2 Sister 4 Christ'ss monthly magazine, Extreme Woman. She will also have the privilege of being featured on the SOM page of their website. As part of her honor, she will also be interviewed for their podcast, Sister 2 Sister Moments.



Feona'ss future plans for Solo Mommy Magazine include a mid-August book signing and in September, parenting workshops.



Concerning her many accomplishments and milestones, Feona is modest when responding: Solo Mommy Magazine is my mission and so, I have dedicated my life to the work of empowering single moms everywhere. When I earn an accolade, my single-mom girlfriends earn one as well. It'ss not about me -- but about us collectively, and our children. I am very blessed that people have been receptive to what I'sm doing. And, when they receive me, they receive all single moms.



This past school year, Feona worked as a Parent Activity Coordinator through The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene for a pilot program aimed at providing public school students with additional physical activity to combat the child obesity issue that'ss affecting so many of our children nationwide. She facilitated organized games during recess five days a week. Not only did Feona get the kids active, but she bonded with the students and constantly encouraged them to excel at their academics. They embraced her concern.



During her summers, Feona continues to give back to the community by teaching third graders at a Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn summer camp how to create newsletters. Last year, her students at the camp produced three newsletters in one month where they did everything from interviews to using their notes to form stories to editing the stories. I love my summers, Feona shares. In fact, I just got a call from the summer camp'ss founder who said the kids are looking forward to their first day of class next week. Do you know how good it feels to know that you'sre empowering perhaps the next Pulitzer-Prize winner It'ss serious and thrilling!
