Mama Bees Housing Community

Our mission is to build collective and generational wealth communities and power building opportunities with and for Black, Indigenous-Latinx mamas to lead, thrive, and experience joy, rest, and play all through collaborative creation and leadership. We envision a future where we no longer rely on institutions that surveil, penalize, or erase us. Instead, we are building self-sustaining networks of care rooted in our own traditions, values, and sacred labor as parents and community members.

Our core mission extends beyond merely advocating for equitable access to resources based on need; it is fundamentally about forging innovative, alternative radical systems of care by our community for our community that enable us to thrive as both caregivers and providers. It is a collective care model that honors the sacred work of birth and parenting and recognizes this political form of labor as one that should be a shared responsibility, not just limited to the individual. This project seeks to empower us to forge meaningful careers and create personalized paths to success that accommodate our diverse and unique needs, as single moms and providers with mixed status families. This transformative approach to racial and gender inequities offers us the opportunity to reclaim our personal power and foster long-term stability and empowerment for our community.
