At its core, Mutha Magazine is more than just a publication – it's a community. Alison has worked tirelessly to build a platform that fosters connection and conversation among mothers and parents, through social media, events, and online forums.
"We're not just looking for 'motherhood' stories," Alison explains. "We're looking for stories that intersect with motherhood, like stories about identity, culture, and social justice. We want to hear from mothers who are queer, trans, women of color, and from different socioeconomic backgrounds." mutha magazine alison

"We're not just a magazine, we're a network," Alison emphasizes. "We want to create a space where mothers can connect with one another, share their experiences, and find support.

From essays on motherhood and disability to profiles of mothers who are making a difference in their communities, Mutha Magazine offers a rich and varied perspective on what it means to be a mother or parent today.
