The City of Birmingham and The Penny Foundation hosted a free event to celebrate the resiliency and tenacity of mothers with its Embrace Mothers Mom’s Night Out. Mothers attended an evening featuring a film screening and fellowship at the Sidewalk Film Center + Cinema. The movie screened was “Waiting to Exhale,” which organizers described as a film about four women navigating family, love, and career life.
Embrace Mothers Mom’s Night Out was made possible through the Mayors for a Guaranteed Income (MGI) program. In addition, MGI supports Embrace Mothers, a guaranteed income pilot supporting 110 Birmingham single mothers and women in mothering roles with $375 per month for 12 months. This pilot is part of a broader effort to understand and support the needs of Birmingham women and families.
