What Happened Last Week

The stories shared by our Momo friends never fail to touch our hearts. One community member recently posted 🥹❤

"Living away from home, I have spent many holidays without family...Over Mother's Day weekend, I hosted my first Supermomos event to share Dim Sum with a diverse group of product managers...the community in NYC has been so supportive and I can't be more grateful to call the Big Apple my home!"

Thank you for Maggie for sharing and let's continue to uplift and support each other through new and old friendships, community, and good food 🥟🥟🥟
