Ola is the founder of OWN (Onyx Woman Network) and NEW (Nurturing Evolving Women). She has earned numerous accolades including the 2012 Pittsburgh Black Media Federation Legacy Award, 2010 SBA Business Champion Award, Robert Morris Alumni of the year, 2009 Pittsburgh Courier Woman of Influence, 2006 National Society of Collegiate Scholars Award, 2003 The New Pittsburgh Courier Women of Influence Award and the 2002 Pittsburgh Women in Business Woman of Distinction Award. But perhaps what inspires me even more than her business savvy is her journey as a mother. Ola’s son was diagnosed with autisim at the age of 4 and during a time when the condition was rarely publicized, and resources weren’t as bountiful or accessible as they are today. Launching her own business allowed Ola to dedicate more time to meet his ever-changing needs. Please take a listen to my mom talk with this incredible woman!

I am so fortunate that my grandmothers recognized the importance of obtaining an education and worked tirelessly to provide learning opportunities to their children. And for generations the value of education has been passed passed down. I became an elementary school teacher, so that I could impart that same value in education and lifelong love of learning upon other children. When given the opportunity to receive a high-quality education, all students can achieve. I've witnessed first-hand students who come from some of the poorest neighborhoods and most challenging of circumstances grow up to earn college degrees and achieve greatness both personally and professionally. Every child deserves that opportunity! Please join me on this BONUS episode of Mom Talk with Denise LaRosa, as I speak with Allies for Children Executive Director Patrick Dowd and Hear Me Project Manager Jessica Kaminsky about the need for fair education funding in Pennsylvania, and how parents, educators, children and caregivers can get involved!

Hosted by the Playful Pittsburgh Collaborative, the Ultimate Play Day is an opportunity for the Pittsburgh community to come together in a centralized location to engage in and learn about play. This year, local and regional organizations will host play stations throughout Burgwin Park to provide a holistic model of innovative and creative play. The event will feature outdoor play, an opportunity to create with natural materials such as small logs, rocks, & acorns, games made from recycled material, art, the imagination playground, story telling sessions, hula hoop play, and drum circles. There will be play for every age—from the very young to the most seasoned! This celebration will also introduce community members to playful organizations such as The Carnegie Museum of Art, The Saturday Light Brigade, Kids Plus Pediatrics, PAEYC, Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, and many more! Our hope is that this event will spark conversations regarding other play-based topics including, play and learning, risk and play, nature play, and play through design.

Kelly is a happily married wife and mother of 2 biological children.  Kelly and her husband are certified foster parents and have fostered 7 kids in 3 separate siblings groups. They are now in the process of adopting 2 of their foster children. If all of that weren’t enough to keep her busy, Kelly is also the founder of The Pgh Momtourage, a community of Pittsburgh moms who love to connect with other moms (& dads), sharing in the experiences - and the craziness - of parenthood and enjoying our city together. As a foster parent, Kelly Hughes has watched 7 little ones show up at her door step with little or nothing. With often short notice of their arrival, it can become a scramble for foster parents to have basic clothing and necessities for the children. So she created the Foster Love Project to encourage donations of placement bags. If you are a foster or adoptive parent, or have a desire to become a foster or adoptive parent, then I highly encourage you to open your heart and mind, and listen to Kelly share her joys, challenges and experiences with both.
