These are the guiding principles of Mothership Stories Society, the non-profit society that directs and guides all aspects of My Mother’s Story.

Mothership publishes the My Mother’s Story books, manages commissions and productions of My Mother’s Story theatrical events, our workshops and all the other creative projects we dream up that use mother stories as content. It also maintains the Archive of mother stories both online and in the digital repository at Langara College in Vancouver, BC.
