WELCOME TO BIG MAMA’S
WE ARE THE COMMUNITY
CHANGING LIVES ON OUR BLOCKS IN COMPTON & WATTS
Meet Dr. Cynthia 'Big Mama' Mendenhall. She is a lifetime Imperial Courts Projects resident with a honorary Doctor of Humanity Degree who has dedicated the past 30+ years to creating life-changing impact for Black & Brown families across LA's most underserved and at-risk communities.
Unfortunately, Big Mama's success in bettering the lives of those around her has come with significant costs in her own life. Still, despite a lifetime of sacrifice, loss and adversity, Big Mama continues to give everything she has to her community today.
Now, as founder of her new nonprofit: Chosen Angels Inc, Big Mama needs your support in order to take her impact even further.
