The Momference Minis: Nikki Osei-Barrett on ’90s Love, Teen Moms, & The Kids Who Clock Us

This spring, That Twin Mama took her mic to The Momference® — the premier, three-day gathering for Black and Brown millennial moms, powered by District Motherhued®. In a weekend built to nourish, uplift, and celebrate #BlackMomMagic, Lauren sat down with powerhouse moms, thought leaders, and healers to bring you these bite-sized, heart-full episodes straight from the DC mom squad that’s rewriting what community care looks like.

In this mini episode, Lauren kicks back with the brilliant Nikki Osei-Barrett — co-founder of District Motherhued® and The Momference® itself — for an unfiltered, hilarious, and deeply honest talk about what it’s like to raise kids across decades… and why that first child will always clock your growth. They unpack the evolution of motherhood (and marriage!) from teen love to grown-woman realness, how to handle the regrets we carry from our early parenting years, and why doing better now is the whole point. Plus: raising teens in the TikTok era, checking phones for secret searches, and why our kids will always read us for filth.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• Why your oldest kid knows you like nobody else — and reminds you daily
• Nikki’s real talk on parenting as a teen vs. a grown mom
• How District Motherhued® became the village so many moms crave
• Lauren & Nikki’s confessions about raising boys in the age of screens (and porn)

If this one made you feel a little seen (or deeply called out by your oldest), share it with a mom friend who needs the reminder that grace grows with us. And don’t forget to leave your girl a 5-star review — it keeps this village growing. Subscribe so you don’t miss the rest of The Momference minis!
