Welcome to Mommy Break

Welcome to Mommy Break Inc., a safe haven where mothers of all ages and stages are seen, supported, and celebrated.

Mommy Break is a nonprofit dedicated to creating safe, empowering spaces for mothers to recharge, connect, and grow. We offer in-person and virtual support groups, wellness experiences, and resources tailored to the needs of modern moms; especially those raising children with unique challenges. Our mission is to remind every mom: that taking a break isn’t giving up, it’s taking care of yourself.

We know motherhood is beautiful, but it’s also challenging, overwhelming, and often lonely. That’s why we’re here. Mommy Break was created to give you space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with you. Whether you’re a new mom, a seasoned mama, or somewhere in between, this is your community.

 

Here, we believe every mother deserves:

  • A break without guilt

  • A village without judgment

  • A place to grow, heal, and thrive

Through support groups, wellness events, personal development resources, and soul-nourishing connections, we’re on a mission to pour back into the women who pour into everyone else.

Because when a mother is whole, strong, and supported, everything changes.

Welcome home, Mama.

Meet the Founder

Because every mom deserves a break and a breakthrough.

Kengela Gia, a teen mom turned transformational leader, founded Mommy Break to create a safe, uplifting space for mothers; especially teen moms, single moms, and those navigating life’s toughest seasons.

Through faith-centered programs, life skills workshops, mentorship, and our signature Mommy Break Sisterhood, Kengela walks alongside moms, helping them heal, grow, and thrive. She knows firsthand how isolating motherhood can feel, and she’s committed to building a community where support, sisterhood, and growth are real.

Driven by compassion, authenticity, and lived experience, Kengela is turning her calling into a movement: one break, one breakthrough at a time.

Meet our team

Behind every program and service at Mommy Break Inc is a passionate team, each contributing their unique skills and heart to support mothers on their journey.

 

Angela Dukes Roach, mother of our founder Kengela, is an author, mentor, and the OG Program Director for Mommy Break Inc. With a lifetime of raising families, overcoming challenges, and leading her own outreach ministry, Angela brings wisdom, grace, and hands-on experience to every mother she supports. She empowers women 50 and older to rest, recharge, and reconnect with themselves through the Mommy Break OG program, offering enriching activities, fellowship, and guidance. Angela’s dedication to uplifting mothers and inspiring the next generation makes her a trusted role model and advocate in the community.

De'Etta Duff, also known as Dede Love, younger sister to founder Kengela, has been dancing since the age of three, when she first discovered a natural connection to movement, rhythm, and expression. What began as childhood curiosity quickly became a lifelong passion, one she has carried with her through every season of life. For Dede, dance is more than movement; it is healing. No matter where she is or what she’s experiencing, she finds herself drawn to the beat, allowing rhythm to guide her body and restore her spirit. Dance has always been her outlet, her joy, and her way of reconnecting with herself. It is an honor for her to share this passion with other women, whether they have danced their entire lives or are simply stepping onto the floor for the first time. Dede is excited to create a space where women can move freely, reconnect with their feminine energy, and leave feeling more confident, empowered, and in love with themselves than when they arrived.
