YO MAMA’S HOUSE is an art and healing space cooperative for mothers of all ages.
Amoke Kubat’s Angry Black Woman & Well-Intentioned White Girl available to watch online! More than a play, your rental also gets you a Toolkit PDF and an invitation to an online Zoom Gathering with Amoke Kubat, Jennifer Johnson, and other who have watched the play!
We MOTHER by sharing personal narratives and ancestral stories that hold our mothers’ cultural wisdom, and by teaching each other traditional “woman’s work” skills to younger mothers, to collectively move mamas from surviving to thriving and to sovereignty.
We MENTOR (and are mentored) by local artists, healers and activists who teach diverse artistic practices, non-traditional trade and business skills, and identify the resources needed for supporting emerging artistry and pathways to financial stability.
We MAKE art and create healing services and that promote positive images and narratives about women as mothers, and also promote health and well being. Healthy mothers raise healthy children, families and communities.
