W.I.S.O.M.M.M. is the abbreviation for Women In Support of The Million Man March.  Many of the men who attended the historical Million Man March in Washington, DC went due to the support and hard work of their women.

W.I.S.O.M.M.M. was formulated as one of the means of support for the march.  So successful was the march, and so effective was the impact on the entire world...

WISOMMM is a non-profit community based organization, created after the Million Man March that took place in Washington, D.C. on October 16, 1995.  It was originally formed to be a women´s contingent and a means of support to carry out the principles of the March.  WISOMMM has continued the spirit and momentum and is committed to serving the community according to the tenets of the March which include faith, empowerment, self love, self-determination and reunification of the family.

The women of WISOMMM are mothers, grandmothers, wives, daughters and sistahs in the community who have committed to continuing the “spirit of the march” but more importantly the legacy left by strong, determined African people throughout the diaspora.

In just over ten years WISOMMM has established a viable institution that has made positive impacts on the lives of the families who live in the community it serves.
