PURPOSE AND/OR MISSION OF ASSOCIATION/ORGANIZATION/AGENCY:
Mocha Moms is a support group for mothers of color who have chosen no to work full-time outside of the home in order to devote more time to their families. While many of our members have eliminated employment altogether, others work part-time, flex-time, night shifts, have home-based businesses, consult or freelance from home or have chosen alternative, less demanding career paths so that they are more available to their families. Our goal is to support the decisions made by our members. We will never pass judgement on mothers who choose to make or are forced to make different decisions for their families.

VISION:  To create healthy bonds of sisterhood and strong foundations of support. To impact our families and communities through time, service, and commitment.
