    Nneka Hall is a Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness advocate with a primary focus on infant and maternal mortality within the African American Community. Nneka is the founder of the Quietly United in Loss Together Campaign which is a Pregnancy And Infant Loss Awareness campaign designed to raise awareness of all types of loss from conception through a child's first two years of life, teach healthy fertility through womb health education, provide support to families who suffer these losses and provide support for memory programs so they won't close due to inability to afford supplies.

    Nneka is the mother of four: Two sunshines (Jelani and Symone), one angel (Annaya Marie stillborn at 39 weeks gestational age on August 27, 2010), and one rainbow (Bradleigh).

    Following the stillbirth of her daughter, she sought out ways to aid others in having a positive birth outcome. I stumbled across the doula profession and needed to learn more. She is a full-spectrum doula, holding certifications as a birth, bereavement and postpartum doula. Nneka is a certified International Bereavement Specialist, a Certified Community Centered Herbalist, Trained Womb Health Specialist, Trained Preconception Health Doula, Trained Menopause Doula, Trained End of Life Doula, Crystal Healer and Childbirth educator.

    June 2016 Nneka had the pleasure of being selected due to my work in the pregnancy and infant loss community to participate in the US of Women's Summit as a Nominated Change Maker which was hosted by former First Lady Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey.

  • What is your style Saying with Nikki Ray (Brownie Boutique)

    My name is Nikki Ray.  I am a Wife to 1, Mom to 2.  I live in a house full of boys, and I am their Queen! I am a believer in Christ, and I fully subscribe to the narrative that Women are an amazing beings, equipped to do great things.

    One constant has always been the military lifestyle.  I grew up a military kid, traveling the world, and I get to give those travels to my own children by being a Veteran, and being married to a military member.  I enjoy connecting with military spouses and providing resources where needed.

    A fun passion of mine is sports, and coaching allows me to give back to athletes, much like my coaches did for me.

    I could be a student for life.  Any opportunity I have to learn, or research, I make it happen. I am currently pursuing my MBA, and certificate in Women's Leadership.

    Besides my mommy and wife hat, the other hat that stays on is a business owner. I started the Brownie Boutique in the fall of 2020. In the midst of great life change in that year, I wanted something that was completely my own, that I created, and would work nonstop for.  For years, that was exclusively my children.  As they became more independent, I said "It's Go Time". The Brownie Boutique was birthed out of the laundry room in our house, and the rest is history.

    Why Brownie? My maiden name is Brown, and it's also a nickname given to me by my boo thang! The Brownie Boutique is me. Every piece that I create has a part of me.  It speaks to who I am.  Believer, Military Spouse, Mom, low-key Feminist! I am the She-EO of my dreams
