That’s the founding principle of Sugaberry, a new lifestyle brand created by Tika Sumpter, the actress-producer who stars on ABC’s mixed-ish, and Thai Randolph, the executive vice president and general manager of Kevin Hart’s company, Laugh Out Loud.

The idea for Sugaberry came out Sumpter’s experiences during her pregnancy with her daughter, Ella, Sumpter and Randolph shared during an exclusive video interview with BLACK ENTERPRISE.

Sumpter wanted to combat the prevailing narrative of “death, doom, and destruction” for black moms with something that gives black women a space to celebrate the full range of motherhood.

A mutual friend introduced her to Randolph—one of BLACK ENTERPRISE‘s past honorees as a leading woman in marketing and advertising—because of her expertise in the digital media space.

Randolph had experienced a similar longing for community during her journey to motherhood, which included challenges with fertility.
