Meet Tomika- Philly Influencer

Tomika is a wife and mother of two teenagers (ages 14 and 16), the Bio-Chemist turned sports mom, helps other busy moms navigate parenthood, staying relevant and stylish through her popular blog Life in Pumps. 

Tomika and her family reside in the suburbs of Philadelphia but love exploring the sights and sounds of the city.  She believes that life is an adventure and is often found using planes, trains and automobiles. 

Rarely will you find Tomika without her signature lipstick and/or a conversation starter shoe. Fashion is more about how you feel than how you look and as a curvy girl she wants to empower other plus sized women.

Advocacy is a huge part of Tomika’s life, as a five year breast cancer thriver.  She continually leverages her experiences with breast cancer to help others. This includes using her voice on Capitol Hill and serving as a patient advocate/mentor on various pharmaceutical research projects. The diagnosis empowered Tomika to focus on bridging the large gap between the healthcare system and the wellness movement. 

Tomika’s clean  journey completely altered her choices as a consumer. Learning all she could about clean ingredients and their impact on the body as well as the environment. She became conscious of the products used to clean her home, the candles burned, what her family puts on their skin, and of course—what they put in their body.

Tomika, dubbed the Organic Lifestylist, has fully embraced this newest role. As a sought after speaker, she shares ways to make the transition to a clean life. Capitol Hill provided an avenue to partner with the Organic Trade Association to advocate for Organics with elected officials.  This provided a phenomenal opportunity to share the importance of Organics. Tomika is also an ambassador for ShiftCon. 

The love of travel is what prompted Tomika, to assume the role of President for the Philadelphia Travel Massive. As an African- American travel blogger, she continues to inspire people to travel either alone, with the family or a girls trip. She stresses the importance of blacks who travel especially with their children. You can count on her to provide recommendations great restaurant, destinations,  boutique hotels, and travel tips for all budgets.

Tomika has appeared on Dr. Oz and the Q Show discussing the importance of wellness and balancing life. She has also been included in several major publications such as Essence and Good Housekeeping. She is a the creator of Tea Talk Thursday. and co-host of Happy Hour with Camp Squads. 

When not behind her laptop, you can catch Tomika reading, bike riding, shopping, breaking bread or toasting with friends, coaching lacrosse, volunteering with Jack and Jill of America, Girl Scouts of America, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc, as well as supporting fellow breast cancer survivors.

May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fear May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears. Today is the start of the Lunar New Year and it’s the perfect time to reset to receive your good fortune. It’s the year of the Metal Ox which signifies movement. 

I miss traveling especially girl trips. My girls would have loved hitting the road in the Toyota Sequoia not only because of the extra space but it provides lots of luxury. Galentines day is fast approaching and I encourage you to show love to your gal pals. While we can’t have in person celebrations, we can still connect virtually. Join me tonight at 7PM EST for a pre-Galentines day virtual celebration.  @thirtymommy and I are chilling our champagne cocktails. 

How are you showing love to your friends?

Grab a broom for that shattered glass ceiling. Tod Grab a broom for that shattered glass ceiling. Today is international day of women in science and our current Flotus, Dr Jill Biden stated it best when she mentioned Dr Mae Jemison, the first black woman in space, as a woman who “pushed us to believe that we are more capable than we know.” I truly believe that we can shatter all those glass ceilings. If we can dream it, we can do it! 

Thank you to women such as @lindsaygf96, @a.natural.beutee and @kizzyphd for breaking barriers. 

Tag a woman in science below so we can celebrate her!
