Growing Daughters and Mamas Together
At Binti, we are passionate about helping daughters and mothers grow together. Our tailored approach combines science, culture, and play to provide a holistic and engaging education that inspires positive attitudes and relationships around puberty and young adulthood.
BiNTi means Daughter
Swahili

Why BiNTi?
Bintis and Mamas overwhelmingly report that puberty and adolescence feels disorienting.
BiNTi supports families get clarity and build confidence during this inevitable season of growth.
What we (may) feel:
*
Binti: Frustrated by lack of clear communication from mamas
Mama: Nervous to discuss a topic that they don't know about or had an unpleasant experience with.
*
Binti: Annoyed by (almost) everyone and (almost) everything, especially adults who presume what she thinks, feels, wants, and knows.
Mama: Confused by binti's feelings and behavior, and fearful of losing their little binti.
*
Binti: Insecure about appearance, friendships, and role in community.
Mama: Insecure about ability to guide binti during this season and concerned about the consequences of making a mistake.
What we want:
O
BiNTi: Provide bintis and mamas with systems for communicating and understanding their past, present, and future together.
O
BiNTi: Provide bintis and mamas with understandings of brain development, hormones, and socio-scientific environmental impacts on bintis and their families, while developing the binti's and mama's relationship to their lineage and legacy.
O
BiNTi: Restore confidence between bintis and mamas through workshops, role play, and puberty plans for bintis and mamas to thrive on their growth journey.
