Kushies Magazine

Mother, editor of Swanky Moms, children’s activist.

When I married my husband, it was essential for us to set up our family values. Values that would guide us in our daily lives on how we treat each other, raise our kids, and share in our community. One significant value for both of us was a commitment to serve others. Together we have chosen to live out that value by being ambassadors for a non-profit organization called Christian Ministries in Africa (CMIA). With our love for children it was a perfect fit! Through our passion for CMIA we have been able to serve children abroad and here at home.
