Mother Wit needs your help matching funds to support Black women and femmes impacted by COVID-19.
Mother Wit has raised nearly $2000 in micro-grants and generous donations to support those elderly, immuno-compromised, and essential workers in Georgia with grocery and prescription needs. At this time we are able to support 10 families, but could do more with your support. A donation of any size moves us one step closer to matching and doubling our current total.
You can support us through Paypal.
“Black women saved me.”
The Mother Wit movement is one that celebrates this ingenuity under pressure, these everyday heroics under the weight of various oppressions, and this commitment to clearing a path for equity from which they will never benefit. This is an opportunity for the beneficiaries and admirers of Black women to amplify the stories of women whose names were never uttered by history. This is an opportunity to establish equity among the work of Black women whose identities are as varied as their philanthropies. This is an opportunity to
eradicate anti-blackness tactics of violence against Black women
normalize the practice of openly loving and appreciating Black women in a way that removes bodily fetishization and misogynoir.
To love a black woman is both simple and revolutionary. We invite everyone to join us in this endeavor.
