Alex Steinman began her business, Strong Like Mama, when she noticed a lack of working mom blogs and positive messages for children about working mothers. By selling t-shirts with the message “Strong Like Mama” on the front, as well as baby onsies that say “Smart like Mama,” Steinman encourages the image of strong mothers. She donates a portion of T-shirt sales to Everyday Miracles, a non-profit supporting safe births and birthing education.

Maple Grove Senior High graduate Alex Steinman began her business Strong Like Mama in 2015 with a blog about the joys and hardships of being a working mother. After returning to work, she had to “learn how to fit everything into [her] life while supporting and raising a human being.” The blog took off because it’s funny and honest, and her stories resonated with working mothers.
