Assata’s House is a practice, not a place. It’s a way of tending to ourselves and each other that grows from community care and everyday rituals that keep us whole. We nurture spaces, offerings, and learning experiences that help Black women, Black families, and BIPOC communities reconnect with nourishment, land-based practices, rest, and cultural memory.
Care Hubs and Food Access
Assata’s House creates spaces and programs that bring care, connection, and ancestral wisdom into everyday life. We focus on community, offering Black women, Black families, and BIPOC communities ways to rest, nourish themselves, and engage in land-based and holistic practices. Our work honors cultural memory and lineage, helping our people not just get by, but truly thrive.
How We Work
Assata’s House isn’t a traditional organization or collective. At the center, leadership guides the vision, and within the ecosystem, collaborators co-create programs, workshops, and experiences, moving with flexibility and care while contributing ideas, shaping offerings, and supporting the health and sustainability of the work.
This approach keeps us grounded, adaptable, and relational, ensuring everything we do is rooted in care, trust, and collective liberation.
A Living Healing Practice
Assata’s House builds spaces and programs rooted in Black ancestral wisdom. We offer care hubs, learning spaces, and sanctuaries where Black mothers and BIPOC femmes can rest, receive bodywork, connect with cultural memory, and be nourished by community.
We explore ways to support collective care that reconnects people to themselves, each other, and the Earth. Guided by the knowledge and traditions of BIPOC femmes, we preserve healing practices, strengthen caregivers, and help shape the future of care that truly sustains.
Assata’s House is grateful for the funding support that has helped sustain our programs and care-based work. This includes support from Bread & Roses, Barra Foundation, Reinvestment Fund, and the City of Philadelphia Department of Public Health (Maternal and Family Health Division).
