by Jamilah May 10, 2020

My Birthday, Our Party.

by Jamilah February 17, 2017

As a child, I didn’t have many Birthday parties.  No, we weren’t Jehovah’s Witnesses.  We–my siblings and I–just didn’t have many Birthday parties.   As a pre-teen, I was in the Big Brother & Sister program, and…

The Creator of B.M.W.

The Creator of B.M.W.

Hi! I'm Jamilah! I've been a Navy wife since 2006, after earning my Masters in Marriage & Family Therapy from San Diego State University. After relocating to other areas, I longed for a sense of community and resources--hence, I created Black Military wives! The goal of Black Military Wives (B.M.W.) is to create relationships between women who share similar cultural and family experiences, in relation to the military. B.M.W. also has a Facebook Group, which was established in January, 2016. The group now has more than 8,000 members--even though it's a "secret" group! At the time of its creations, there wasn't any other worldwide "Black Military Wives..." anything! Now, there are so many resources available to our community! Together, we are making a remarkable difference in building friendships and sharing resources between sisters all over the world, and I'm so thankful to be apart of this amazing sisterhood.
