HI THERE!
Mama Abroad was founded by Erica M. Pallangyo, an immigrant mother who understands firsthand the challenges of navigating pregnancy and motherhood in a new country.
After moving to the United States, Erica found herself learning unfamiliar healthcare systems, rebuilding her support network, and adjusting to a completely new way of life, all while embracing motherhood. Those experiences inspired her to create Mama Abroad: a trusted resource where immigrant mothers can find practical guidance, encouragement, and the confidence to navigate pregnancy, motherhood, and life in America.
Built from real immigrant motherhood
