As a millennial Latinx mom, I’ve found that social media is like my gateway to feeling normal. I don’t mean normal in a boring way. I mean normal like, “wow, there are actually a lot of other people like me out there in the world.” Seeing what other moms that I can actually relate to are doing—how they are raising their kids and living their lives and balancing the complexities of it all—isn’t just validating, it’s also inspiring. There are so many of us out there doing incredible things that fill our hearts and grow our minds, as well as those of our children. If you’re looking for a bit of inspiration and encouragement, check out these 10 Latina moms on Instagram.

Rory Lassanske
Rory seems like the type of mom that just doesn’t give a damn what anyone thinks. Her kids are a little older than mine, and I feel like her Instagram pics give me a bit of a glimpse into the future. She shares lots of snaps of her kids having a blast, their travels, her work life, awesome meals and more. It’s basically an extension of her blog, Mama Contemporanea, which covers all of the same topics.

Mari’s Instagram account has the moniker Academic Mami and I just love it! As you would expect, there’s lots of inspiration for moms pursuing their academic and career dreams. But what I love most is how she depicts a realistic work/life balance, often working with her kids at her feet or bringing them along to various events. Plus, she stays representing the culture.
