I am looking forward to gaining knowledge and developing key skills through this fellowship. My goal is to contribute to our shared cause, which I believe is crucial towards creating a more supportive and empowering environment for mothers and their communities.
Being a Mamandla fellow means that my role in society has just become bigger, the promised growth of the fellowship will enable me to lead with caution, create lasting environments for mother’s to fully embrace their Mothership role despite the difficulties of raising a special needs child.
As a Mamandla Fellow, I find profound significance in engaging with a community of passionate women dedicated to uplifting and holding space for mothers. It offers me a platform to share my ideas on how best to serve women, amplifying my advocacy and fostering meaningful connections within the maternal support community.
Being a Mamandla Fellow/Alumni means everything to me – it represents a community of strong women driving social change and advocating for mothers’ rights. As a Mamandla Fellow, I’m committed to continuing my work and amplifying marginalized voice.
Context matters, and it is hard to advocate for issues of the mind while mothers are struggling with more immediate needs such as safety, food, shelter and other physiological needs.
I have worked with caregivers for almost 10 years. I am excited about being Mamandla Fellow because I will join hands with other women supporting mothers across the country.
Being a Mamandla Fellow means that I can work with other individuals who want to support mothers and together we can reshape the world and make it more accommodative for mothers.
I strongly believe in the principle of “motho ke motho ka batho,” which emphasizes the interconnectedness of humanity. The journey of motherhood requires the support and involvement of the community to navigate its highs and lows, and Mamandla provides that space for each fellow to thrive.
Being a Mamandla Fellow/Alumni holds immense significance for me. It means being part of a vibrant community of inspiring individuals who share a common goal of uplifting mothers.
Being a Mamandla fellow is important to me as I am passionate about helping mothers who continue to face a triple oppression of race, class, and gender.
