Ancient Mothers Wisdom is a non-profit curriculum indigenous arts based curriculum and lifestyle brand geared towards honoring the ancestral traditions of our great grandmothers. It centers the resilience of spirited black women who held on to cultural traditions as an act of survival, defiance, and spiritual liberation.
We recognize the need for traditional rites of passage ceremonies within Black communities as a practicum for preparing our youth for adulthood. We lean on the strength and wisdom of our ancestors to remind us of the knowledge that has long been forgotten.

Sacred Twerk is a derivative of Ancient Mothers Wisdom, a lifestyle brand and curriculum model that uses rites of passage and sisterhood to create a culture of upliftment for black women.
Our goal is to assist women in holding space for the sacred parts of themselves, including their deeper senses, spiritual gifts and talents, by providing the tools needed to inspire women to create the life they hold deep in their hearts desires.
We strive to reclaim the ancestral memory that lives within our wombs, our bones and our blood, that remind us that we are not too far removed from the wisdom that has sustained our people since the beginning of time.
We align with the crafts and arts based practices of our foremothers that connect us to our ability to live in harmony with the earth and our spirit guides.
At the core we exist to rectify the oppression of women & to balance the scales of patriarchal dominance in contemporary society. Through the implementation of matriarchal perspectives and enactments of power.
Sacred to our mission is an effort decolonize twerking with an understanding that sensual movement is not only our birthright but a radical and revolutionary tool of resistance to our oppression; twerk as a means of survival and a manifestation of ancestral memory.
When we shake our asses we honor our ancestors, we release all the pent up emotions that are housed within our wombs, the energy that was inherited through our great grandmothers wombs. We honor the fact that even in their strength and determination to work with what they had been given, our grandmothers wanted more for us.
