Meet the Moms

These are the people who write for Working Moms Against Guilt. Get to know us!

Susan Wenner Jackson started Working Moms Against Guilt in 2006 with three of her working-mom friends in Cincinnati (see Tela, Sara, and Cara below). She’s been a writer as long as she can remember (1980?), and a blogger and mom since 2006. She lives in West Chester, Ohio (a northern suburb of Cincinnati), with her husband, Jerry, and two children (ages 5 and 2).

After a decade spent in cubicle farms of various sorts, she decided to start her own social media and content strategy business out of her home. Susan earned a master’s degree at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, and a bachelor’s degree in journalism at Miami University.

Tela DurbinTela Durbin is a working mom with a son, O, who was born in July 2006.

Sara Bennett Wealer is an author, copywriter and live event producer who blogs when she’s not working on a new novel or spending time with her two children.

She went on to design theme parks and work on the websites of major consumer brands before taking her current position as a scriptwriter and producer for an experiential marketing firm.

Sara’s first novel for young adults, RIVAL, was released in February 2011 by HarperTeen, an imprint of HarperCollins. She also will have a piece in HarperCollins’ DEAR BULLY anthology, out in fall 2011. Sara earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism from the University of Kansas.

While raising her children and working full-time, Becky completed her college education, earning a bachelor’s degree in Technical Management and two master’s degrees – one in Project Management and the other in Business Administration.
