The World is our Classroom
Cultural Anthropologist & Digital Nomad
Who is MUMA P.A.W.S?
I create experiences for the “gardeners of our culture. Matriarchs who pour so much into their communities, all while navigating work, oppressive institutions, and external stressors.”

Our Work
The documentation of our collective histories using oral history, documentary film making, photography and auto ethnography.
Our Mission
“Gardeners, need the space, time, and community support to rest, recuperate, and return feeling rejuvenated. I live by the philosophy that we cannot pour from an empty cup and my business, looks at the ways in which we can cultivate communities of care based on reciprocity, accountability, and mutual aid.”

Community Engagement
Long term we dream of building a brick and mortar space where community members can come and record their oral histories and take family photos to contribute to the archive.
We plan to collaborate with community members to visit families, homes and farms in which individuals are not able to travel or have mobility issues.
