Empowering Young Mothers, Changing Generations

Our Story

Hi I'm Myanah! As a mom of two boys, I understand the importance of community in parenting. It's true that it often takes a village. But what do you do when that support system is lacking or non-existent? Parenting is hard, add to that healing from past traumas and financial difficulties and the challenges can seem insurmountable.

I created Ayanfe Rising Foundation because I wanted to provide a space for moms ,who have already been through so much, to find their circle of support. We aim to be a space for mothers to experience unwavering support, unconditional acceptance and cultural supportive parenting education. We believe by helping mothers thrive they can show up in the best way possible for their babies and end generational cycles of trauma.

What We Do

Individual and Family Counseling

Participants in the Ayanfe Rising Foundation mental health services will be offered sessions of individual or family counseling to help address issues such as trauma, familial conflicts or other mental health concerns.

Parent Education and Support Groups

In addition to individual and family counseling, participants will join regularly scheduled mental health groups to receive psychoeducation, parenting education, information on child development and empathetic support and community

Infant Supplies and Formula

Mothers who are actively participating in the program are also eligible to receive a monthly care box to include diapers, wipes and formula that can be critical in helping to reduce the stress of providing for their little ones.
