Who are we?

Mothers networking with mothers for inspiration and encouragement.

JENNIFER (Nif) - My name is Jennifer (friends call me Nif) and my friend, Lisa, and I have been friends for almost 20 years. We were college athletes together, and we have both been in education for many years. During our athletic careers as well as our professional careers, we have learned the importance of teamwork, support, and leadership.

I am a mother of two girls, and through my years of being a high school teacher and coach, personal trainer, fitness club owner, and school administrator, I have worked very closely with students, adults, and parents.

LISA – My name is Lisa.  I am a middle school teacher and coach.  Although I do not take any children home, I get the privilege to love every student and athlete as my own.  I was raised by a very Strong Mother.  I call her Doodie.  Whether she liked this childhood nickname or not, she has allowed me to call her Doodie all these years.  I will tell stories about her, my little sister (Jess), friends, students, and athletes.

JoVanka (JOBI) – Jobi is a former college basketball coach (UAB). She decided to make a career change to spend more time with her precious family. She is a teacher, coach, motivator, and a former college basketball player. Her daughter will be 2 in November. She can do anything and will make you believe that you can, too.
