ALEKSANDRA JASSEM and NIKITA STANLEY are the bestselling authors of The Rebel Mamas Handbook for (Cool) Moms. In 2014, the two unlikely mothers combined their talents and created the Rebel Mama(.com). Since then, they’ve used their platform to smash stigmas, foster community connections and build a modern village for a new generation of moms. Now they’ve turned their sights to conquering the final frontier of empowerment: money.

Between the two of them, Aleks and Nikita are mamas to three kids, a dog and a cat. They reside in Toronto and survive (almost) exclusively on peanut butter sandwiches, Neapolitan pizza and coffee. So much coffee.
