On this episode, co-hosts Adanna Dill and Schnelle Acevedo chat with Eva Greene Wilson a wife, mother of 3, author of two children's books, illustrator, speaker, a graduate of Howard University School of Law, the owner and editor of the award-winning website SocaMom.com®, homeschooling advocate, and the founder of the SocaMom® Summit.
While she was a full-time law student, she homeschooled her three children and continued to speak internationally, and write. Whether it was reading her law assignments before events while covering the Congressional Black Caucus Foundations Annual Legislative Conference, speaking at the National Council of Negro Women's Conference between classes, or studying for exams while on a work trip in the Caribbean, Eva has always found a way to make it work. As a blogger, Eva is known for creating videos for brands, having an engaged community, and being a trusted source for information on the Caribbean, blogging, parenting, and education. Since 2011, she has written about Caribbean American parenting, working on campaigns for companies such as Wal-Mart, AT&T, and Beaches Resorts. She won Best Parenting Blog and Best New Blog in the Black Weblog Awards, and she is a SheKnows/BlogHer Voices of the Year Honoree and presenter in the Long Form Video category. She later served as a judge for the awards. As the founder of the SocaMom® Summit, Eva brought together more than 70 speakers representing over 20 countries, at the height of the coronavirus pandemic to discuss issues that are important to the Caribbean diaspora. The event, held virtually in April and June of 2020, collectively provided the community with over 50 sessions totaling more than 30 hours of discussions, teaching, and entertainment for both children and adults.
