For the last 5 years, The Brown Mama Monologues has showcased the stories of black mothers with the purpose of redefining the American motherhood narrative to be inclusive of the Black mothering experience.  

In each host city African-American mothers take the stage to tell their most vulnerable stories around black motherhood in America.  After 4 months of rehearsal and relationship building with one another, our moms leave all of their mom guilt, co-parenting woes, funny stories about childbirth and more right on the floor of the stage.  Between the stories we uplift our crowd with parent-centered comedic acts, uplifting and empowering performances and awards recognizing the local champions of Black motherhood right in their own backyards.  

The mothers, fathers, grandparents, sons and daughters that attend The Brown Mama Monologues leave each showcase using words like “inspired”, “truthful”, “unifying” and “wow”. Attendees describe the uplifting experience of having someone express, in living color, the very thought that they themselves have wanted to say out loud.  Our storytellers sit on a high for months having finally unloaded their deepest mom secrets to an audience that supports, honors and loves them more for their experience.
