Casa Atabex Aché - House of Womyn's Power

Casa Atabex Aché has a rich legacy of supporting womyn of color to reconnect with their individual and collective powers of healing and action so they may transform their lives, families and communities. Utilizing a holistic model, Casa's mission is to support the emotional, spiritual, physical and intellectual development of womyn and their health needs related to their experiences of abuse and neglect. Casa has two core constituencies: young and adult womyn of color living in the Mott Haven section of the South Bronx as well as young and adult womyn of color organizers on the frontline (e.g. activists, social workers, teachers, etc.).

midwife-marlee: afrikanwomen: Lupita Nyong’o is a Kenyan filmmaker and actress.  She’s the filmmaker behind the acclaimed documentary about Albinism, “In My Genes”. Nyong’o, who is currently enrolled in the M.F.A. in acting program at the Yale School of Drama, was born in Mexico to Kenyan parents, and grew up in Kenya. In My Genes was selected as the opening event of the 2010 touring New York African Film Festival hosted by Smith College, and was screened both at Hampshire and Five College neighbor Smith College. The documentary follows Agnes, a Kenyan woman with albinism overcoming her society’s discrimination against her condition.  Nyong’o writes that the film “asks us to consider how it feels to be a member of one of the most hyper-visible and yet effectively invisible groups of people in a predominantly black society.”  —source She’s so beautiful
