The Motherhood Featured in State Department Publication

We are thrilled that the U.S. State Department is featuring The Motherhood and co-founder Emily McKhann in their publication, SPAN.  The article, “From the Blogosphere to the Global Stage”, by Carrie Loewenthal Massey, describes The Motherhood’s incredible journey and the company’s early days for Emily and Cooper.

From the article:

“Blown away” by the response they received from women wanting to help the Katrina victims, McKhann and Munroe founded The Motherhood in 2006. The organization serves as a social media agency and digital public relations firm that connects American nonprofit organizations and consumer brands with what McKhann considers to be their most important audience: moms.

“Moms initiate conversations around the dinner table and are such catalysts for action within their families and communities, or across the globe if that’s where their interest lies,” McKhann says.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry recognized the impact of McKhann’s work on connecting moms to global issues. He invited her to participate in his first Google Hangout, in May. She was among five people who engaged with Secretary Kerry in a conversation about the impact of American foreign policies. McKhann asked Secretary Kerry which global issues he thinks should resonate most with moms, to which he answered the environment, health and education, and security. 

The article also recognizes The Motherhood’s work with the UN Foundation’s Shot@Life campaign Blogust, that for two years has helped provide vaccines to kids around the globe.

A huge thanks to the U.S. State Department for profiling and celebrating The Motherhood!
