YO MAMA’S HOUSE, INC. is rooted in relationships.
YO MAMA’S HOUSE, INC. sees members, supporting individuals, and community partnerships as fictive relationships. Fictive relationships are those relationships between people who share strong affection for another arising out of kinship, personal and social ties and maternal love that is not based on biology or marriage.
Individuals and organizations that partner with us are doing the work to empower mothers. All YO MAMA’S HOUSE, INC. activities and events are designed to connect women, as mothers, across age, ethnicity, gender, class, and cultures. In partnering with YO MAMA’S HOUSE, INC. we are becoming family.
