Sonia Mejia
Executive Director
Sonia graduated from Tulane University in 2013 with a degree in Linguistics. Passionate about empowering women, she was very involved with Students for Life in college and is currently working on a certification to teach FEMM, a fertility awareness method that allows women to monitor their own health by understanding the physical signs of each stage of their reproductive cycles. After college, she dedicated herself to sharing her faith. From 2014 to 2016, she worked as a FOCUS missionary, introducing college students to Christ and launching them into lifelong Catholic mission. She mentored women and led Bible studies, retreats, and large group events. The Lord then led her to Honduras for a year, where she lived in a multicultural, Catholic lay community and served in various ministries, helping young Hondurans to encounter Christ and live a life of discipleship. Her favorite was at a local girls’ orphanage. She has since been teaching and previously taught Latin and Spanish at a local, prominent, all-girls high school before becoming part of the Mary’s Home family.
Josephine Boima
Client Services | Case manager
Prior to joining the Mary’s Home community, Josephine served as a community and health care support worker in various settings, an overnight postpartum doula, and most recently as a perinatal care manager in DC. As a Licensed Practical Nurse, she has also worked in maternal and behavioral health care, including working as a patient care technician in a high-risk pregnancy unity/maternity ward. In reflecting on what drew her to our mission, Josephine says, “I chose to become a maternity case manager, because I believe every mother deserves compassionate support, quality care, and access to the resources needed for a healthy pregnancy and postpartum experience. What drives me in this work is the opportunity to make a real difference - not just medically, but emotionally and socially. As a teenage mother myself, I endured a lot of prenatal and postpartum stressors and overcame such struggles in positivity. I am privileged to be able to support other moms on a similar journey at Mary’s Home.”
