As Mother’s Day approaches, we’re reminded just how important our Mothers, Aunts, Grandmothers and other female figures are in our lives. They represent courage, strength and in some cases make sacrifices that we will never know about. With that said, no one understands the hustle more than moms that are also entrepreneurs. So we’ve complied a list of our favorite “momprenuers” who are not only raising their children, but they’re kicking butt by owning their own businesses too!
Check them out below!

Jamilah Lang, a former Communications Specialist, is the ultimate innovator. She created a solution to a problem that many women have had – my weave is itching, what do I do?! She combined the discreetness of a bobby pin and the effectiveness of a rat-tailed comb and eventually developed what is now known as the Weave Scratcher Pro®.
Jamilah was able to successfully pitch her product to heavy-weight investors sharing that not only was there a need for the Weave Scratcher Pro® but there’s a need for an entire hair product company dedicated to women who wear extensions. Mane Therapy™ was created to provide the best quality items for women who wear weaves and extensions. The Weave Scratcher Pro® was recently featured on Oxygen’s newest original series “Quit Your Day Job.” How cool is that?! You rock Mommy!
Jamilah Lang currently lives in Southern California, with her husband and two year-old son, Jalen and is expecting another one soon! To learn more about her company visit mane-therapy.com.
