“I have been a supporter of M.O.M.I.E’s TLC for the past five years and it has had a profound impact on my life. I came to Washington, D.C. to complete my undergraduate studies at American University in the Fall of 2005. In the spring of 2006, I took a required college writing class that explored the topic of education in Washington, D.C. Additionally, there was an option to volunteer with a local education organization. Fate placed me with MOMIE’s TLC and I’ve never looked back. In many ways, we grew up together. Five years later, I have completed my master’s degree in teaching. I am privileged to be part of this great profession and it was MOMIE’s example and inspiration that got me here. No matter the challenges that I face as an educator, I know why I am here. MOMIE’s keeps me grounded."

Our Story...

M.O.M.I.E’s TLC Co-Founder, Ayize Sabater, believes he has a “debt to repay” to others, because so many from his community helped him along the way and were integral to his development.  Growing up in the crime-ridden inner New York city locale of Brooklyn, Sabater knew that without the support he received from youth-based organizations in his community and individuals who "took an interest in me," he never would have pursued opportunities to develop his potential — truth be told he might never have even survived! 

 

Ayize helped to establish Mentors of Minorities in Education, Inc (M.O.M.I.E), a DC-baed nonprofit organization dedicated to revitalizing low-income communities. In 2000, M.O.M.I.E developed M.O.M.I.E's Total Learning Cis-Tem (T.L.C), a strategic response to the horrific education outcomes that far too many low-income children experience. Specifically focusing on early childhood and school age development, M.O.M.I.E's TLC's preventative Programs address the tremendous and critical need for high-quality educational services that seek to implement a "new" model geared towards developing low-income children of color.


M.O.M.I.E's TLC has grown from being a one-man operation with a $10,000 budget to a multi-staffed team with a budget of over $250,000. Since 2000, M.O.M.I.E’s TLC has served and supported over 3,000 children - the majority who are low-income African-American children primarily from the Columbia Heights and surrounding neighborhoods.
