Mino Care (formerly Mommy Monitor)
Mino Care, formally known as Mommy Monitor Incorporated has been rebranded to reflect the community that we serve and the ideals that we represent. Mino is a term in the Fon Language (Niger-Congo language) that was used to describe the Dahomey Amazons. The Dahomey Amazons were an all female military regiment of the Kingdom of Dahomey (modern day Benin). Examples of the Dahomey Amazons can be found more recently in films like Black Panther or the Woman King. These warriors protected their king and their community and the term Mino was a name they were called, which means “Our Mothers”. Although the Mino did not have their own children while serving their community, they were still viewed as care givers and mother figures. At Mino Care our mandate is to be the warriors, advocates, protectors, care givers, support systems and mother figures to our Mino Care clients, just as the Mino were to their community.
