About Us

Our Mission

 Melanin Mommies PGH centers historically marginalized African American, pregnant or parenting millennial and teen mothers.

 

Our mission is to assist these mothers to address and overcome intergenerational trauma and combat negative family cycles by supporting mental wellness and recovery.


We are the Village!



Our Vision

We believe that not only does it take a village to raise a child, but the village also has a responsibility to support, uplift and nurture the mother as well. 


The coming together of support for that mother is transformative and we are obligated to provide access to the tools they need to become the best women and mothers they can be. 


 Through mentorship, connection to resources, mental health advocacy, financial education and development; we will greatly impact the world by helping to produce confident, self-sufficient, educated and empowered mothers.
