You have the right to care for, nurture, protect, heal, teach and love your children.
Black Mommy Circle Mission Statement
1. To equip black mothers with the information and tools they need in order to be empowered and confident as mothers.
2. To support black mothers in their decisions and mothering journey.
3. To provide a safe space for black mothers to speak their minds, learn, grow and teach other mothers.
We have been socially engineered to believe that the people who profit off of our ignorance as mothers are the same people that we should trust with our children's health, education, socialization, nutrition, discipline, medication, entertainment and every other aspect of life. Consequently, black mothers have been made to view themselves incapable as an ever expanding group of 'experts' pushes the voice of the black mother to the margins.
We are purposely kept ignorant of safe and inexpensive alternative methods of wellness, discipline, nutrition, schooling and socialization. Our options are deliberately limited so that we will rely on a system whose best interests are profit and not our children.
The Black Mommy Circle is in existence to empower black mothers and protect the right of the empowered black woman to be a mother to her child. As black women, we know that this bond has before been too easily severed for the sake of profit and economics. Black Mommy Circle demands the right to Kujichagalia (Self-determination) for ourselves and our families in the areas of health, economics, spirit, education, nutrition and in every other way.
