WHO IS A MAMAVIST?

Mamavists are Womxn of color, allies, grassroots organizers, movement and non-profit leaders, and activists who want to invest in their personal and professional development. 

Some Mamavists want small improvements in their own communities, like public internet access for homework. While other Mamavists are planning to run for their school board. The Mamavist experience lays the foundation for whatever level of activism the Mamavist is interested in. Mamavists learn how to build their confidence and find their voice by engaging their personal network and then expanding that network to include community members, lawmakers, and politicians.
