What do I actually get when I join?
It depends on your way in — each includes the one before. The Mothers Circle is free: a private community and safe space, only for mothers, with real conversation with moms who get it. For $49 every 4 weeks it adds weekly live sessions with Emiere (bring your questions, support each other), occasional in-person meetups in Atlanta, and all our private resources for raising a Black son. The Membership adds your son: his own private Brotherhood space and his live session every Monday, 7–8 PM ET. Moderated, warm, and real.
Who is this for?
The Mothers Circle, free or paid, is open to any mother. The Membership is for Mothers Circle members raising sons 13 and up — early teens, high school, or young adulthood. If you’re carrying this work and want people who understand it without a long explanation, you belong here.
What does it cost?
The Mothers Circle is free, or $49 every 4 weeks with Emiere live — no application either way. The Membership, with your son’s mentorship, is $125 every 4 weeks with a scholarship, $300 without. Join the Mothers Circle (free or paid) to apply for your son to join our private mentorship. Apply from inside, hear back right away, and if you qualify you have 72 hours to accept your scholarship. Cancel anytime.
How does my son come in?
Through The Membership — he comes in with you. Join the Mothers Circle (free or paid) to apply for your son to join our private mentorship. It opens his private Brotherhood space (his own members-only community) and his live session every Monday, 7–8 PM ET, in a place built for young men where he belongs.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel yourself from the “Manage membership” link in your emails, or just email us — whenever you need to, no awkward sales call, no hoops. You keep access until the end of the 4 weeks you’ve paid for.
Is it safe for my son?
Right now, Emiere leads every session himself, and mothers are kept informed about what happens. The young men’s Brotherhood space is private, members-only, and moderated. Direct messages between adults and members under 18 are turned off in our community; conversations stay in the open, moderated spaces. Every mentor we add in future will be background-checked before working with your son. How we keep young men safe.
How do I start if I’m just looking?
Start with What to expect — who we are, what changes in your son, and exactly when we meet. Nothing there is gated. When it feels right, join the Mothers Circle free and come inside. No pressure to perform; lurk when you’re tired, lean in when you’re ready.
