Are you a DC Area Mom with a story to tell?


The Brown Mama Monologues are coming to the DMV region! We are taking this show on the road! After two years of sold-out shows in the Pittsburgh region, the Brown Mama Monologues is ready to make it’s debut on a bigger stage.

On Saturday, Sept. 19, 2020, 10 moms-of-color giving their unique take on the trials and triumphs of motherhood will take the stage at the Bowie Center for Performing Arts.

Elle Cole, of CleverlyChanging.com, is heading the charge as Executive Producer of the DMV show. As a long-time, well-known blogger in the region and a background in theater, she is poised to make The Brown Mama Monologues DMV show a success.

Since 2018, twenty moms have courageously told their complex, unapologetic and empowering stories before hundreds of audience members. Attendees describe the show as unifying, inspiring and long-overdue.

If you are a mom-of-color in Maryland, DC or Virginia who has a unique and inspiring story about motherhood, we want to hear it.

Muffy Mendoza is a motivational speaker, author, tribe builder and overall awesome communicator. Most notably, Muffy is known for having cultivated a community of nearly 4,000 African-American moms hungry for social change when she noticed a lack of community among Black mothers in the Pittsburgh region. She created Brown Mamas, a sisterhood that connects moms with resources, advice and, best of all, each other. To further fill the void Muffy has created a line of educational products focused on helping Black moms be the best moms, too. Her first book, The Brown Mama Mindset: A Blueprint for Black Moms on Life, Love & Home, was featured at the 2018 Essence Festival and is currently sold in various cities across the U.S. Muffy champions the beauty of Black motherhood everywhere she goes, even on the TEDx stage. She received a standing ovation at the inaugural TEDx Strip District after giving a compelling depiction of modern day Black motherhood. From the TEDx stage she went on to create a stage for other Black moms. That same year she debuted the first annual Brown Mama Monologues showcase to an audience of over 200 moms. When she’s low-key, Muffy loves reading African history books, forcing her kids to watch most boring documentaries and snuggling with her best friend and husband Mr. Mack Mendoza.
