Issa Mas is a born and bred New Yorker in the midst of her next big adventure, Single Mommyhood! This Single Mama is busy trying to balance raising her four year old, a career as a freelance writer, and staying fabulous, all at the same time.
Issa is a native New Yorker but an advocate for single moms everywhere. As a single parent life coach, Issa offers support to newly single parents facing a myriad of feelings and challenges, as well as to veteran single parents who may have hit a bump in their roads. Issa began blogging about her journey as a single mom in 2007 and must be doing something right: this blog was named "Best Single Mommy Blog" of 2009 by TheBump.com, and was also voted into the "Top 25 Single Parenting Blogs" of 2011 on CircleofMoms.com.
A passion for writing began early for Issa and she was presented her first award for a piece of her writing at only 7 years old by then-New York City Mayor Edward Koch, as a city-wide winner of a poetry contest. Issa is a life coach, published essayist, writer of children's books for her son, a NY Daily News featured blogger, and founder of Your Single Parenting, a resource website inclusive of all single parents. You can watch a clip of her sharing her expertise as a single parent in a WPIX11 news segment here.
