​I am Santa Naisha- a mama of two beautiful girls, a wife to a wonderful man, a creative at heart, and a woman doing her best to chase God’s purpose in every season. Mama y Maná is my love letter to women like us — the ones raising babies and bold ideas, holding faith and fatigue in the same hands, and learning how to be soft, strong, and spirit-led all at once.

​

My journey has never been one-dimensional, and I kind of love that. I founded Isha Prints back in undergrad, simply because I fell in love with art, design, and all things visual storytelling. After graduating from Texas Southern University, I launched Serve the Block, a nonprofit created to continue the community work that had been planted in my heart since I was young. That mission — to serve, uplift, and show up for others — has always stuck with me.

​

Later, I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Northwestern University, which really opened my eyes to the power of mental wellness. And thank God it happened before motherhood, because I now understand self-care and emotional healing in a much deeper, more sacred way.

​

Then came Healing Wives — a literal calling God dropped on my heart during my first pregnancy, right in the middle of one of the most unraveling seasons of my life. I didn’t feel ready, but He called me anyway. Through journaling, prayer, and honest conversations with other women, Healing Wives became a space for faith, restoration, and hope — not just for others, but for me too.

​

I became a Stay-At-Home-Mom at the beginning of the 2025 and in this new season, Mama y Maná was born. It was where grace had to meet me in the mess, and purpose showed up between diaper changes, prayer journaling, and late-night design sessions. This space is my way of weaving it all together: motherhood, ministry, creativity, and community. I believe you can raise babies and a business at the same time. You can love God, build a brand, and still have laundry piled in the corner. You can be soft, strong, and spirit-led — all at once. It’s not perfect, it’s not always polished, but it’s real, and it’s rooted in love. I hope this space makes you feel a little more seen, a little more inspired, and a little more like yourself again. So hang on mama, we're going to have a lot of fun together!
