Muffy Mendoza created Brown Mamas to fill a void she’d noticed in her life’s journey as a daughter and a mother: the need to recognize the multifaceted work that goes into rearing children and building a life for them. This non-profit started as a small group of fired up African American mothers meeting in each other’s homes and has grown into a powerful nation of over 5,000 mothers of color with both online and offline membership. It’s a blog, brand, and community for Black mother’s in the Pittsburgh region.
“Being a part of a Brown Mamas group is extremely important because we talk about things that brown moms go through…and it’s very important for you to have a community where you can talk to others and figure things out,” says Keysha, a Pittsburgh member.
