ABOUT

 

Just Like a Mom was founded by Dr. Wicondra Stovall and was inspired by her three children. With a focus on African American/Black students, Just Like a Mom, Inc. places culturally responsive mother figures within schools to provide cultural brokering for Black students and families.

 

With consideration to the pedagogy of Black teaching, Just Like a Mom, Inc. utilizes Othermothering which consists of five pillars:

 

1) Advocacy

2) Relatedness

3)Care and Concern

4) A Pedagogical Commitment

5)Financial Commitment to the students 

 

In a 2022 survey, this service was desired by 92% of Black parents and validated as a method of increasing connection with underserved populations by teachers. For the 2021_2022 school year, this work directly lowered the suspension rate in African American Students by 74% at Rio Tierra Junior High School in Twin Rivers Unified School District.

We are currently serving Sac City Unified School District and San Francisco Unified School District and would love to partner with your school!
