Bella magazine chats with Penny Goffman, Head of Community at HeyMama to share the impact of community.

HeyMama is a membership-based professional networking community for moms that are growing their families. Their community of women connect through experiences to propel them forward with resources and support.

Women are beginning to claim their collective feminine power, while rising along the way.

Women wear many hats, as mothers, CEO of our homes, caretakers, wives, professionals and all the things in between. We can do it all, but not alone. The Power of The Pack asserts that together we have greater impact, and reverses stereotypes about female rivalry. We need to strengthen the bonds that propel us to rise. We need to surround ourselves with supportive women who will catch us when we fall and lift us to new heights. We need a space to share and amplify our voices and our truth. We need others' leadership & the opportunity to lead ourselves. That’s the power of Community. That’s the power of Connection.

Empowering women to empower one another is smart economics.

Community is both a feeling and a set of relationships. It’s an energy that connects us so powerfully that we thrive, fueling new connections. Take the female founder building a business. She needs funding, resources, visibility, promotion and support. The connected female founder will tap into her community. She will grow and build her empire through these meaningful relationships, and while rising, she will take other women with her. She will mentor them, teach them, support them and pay them (women don’t work for free). That experience is infinite, as those rising with her will influence a new set of incredible women. The chain that links them together multiplies as the web of powerful women continues to expand.

“Community has become a trending and necessary strategy for most businesses. As Head of Community with HeyMama, my entire role is to support, nurture & grow our membership locally and around the country.” Stated Penny Goffman

Community fosters a reciprocal relationship that crowns multiple queens along the way.
