The Bridge (Work in Progress)

The Bridge -  a short film adaptation of The Bridge Poem (1981) by Donna Kate Rushin, captures the isolation and complexity of navigating the intersections of being Black and woman. Originally published in This Bridge Called My Back anthology, the poem resonates deeply in both historical and contemporary contexts. The film illustrates these themes in a present day context.  

Mabley Comedy Club

Mabley Comedy Club is a cozy, cutesy, and mindful book club for comedians and funny folks looking to refine their comedic voice. Together, we create a supportive space to learn, craft material, and develop our unique comedic personas—all while sharing laughs and nurturing new ideas to delight each other and our communities.

We proudly center the voices of Black, feminist, queer, neuro-divergent, and face mask-friendly folks, honoring the legacy of our namesake, the legendary Moms Mabley. A trailblazing performer, activist, and the first successful female comedian, Moms Mabley inspires us to be genre-defying, bold, and unapologetically ourselves.
