Enhance Your Services with Our African American History and Genealogy Programs
Welcome to Our Mammy’s—where we bring Louisiana’s African American history to life through storytelling, genealogy, and hands-on interpretation. I’m Gaynell Brady—educator and storyteller. At Our Mammy’s, we believe that history is personal. Every family, every tradition carries a story waiting to be told. Inspired by my own ancestors—like my 2nd great-grandmother Bell Jefferson, a cook in New Orleans—I founded this company to help others discover and honor their own roots.
Bringing History to Life: Tailored Programs for Educators, Museums, and Libraries
At Our Mammy’s, we believe that history and genealogy are powerful tools for understanding and appreciating one's role in society and the unique purpose each individual serves. Through dedicated historical interpretation and a deep focus on Louisiana African American history, we strive to illuminate the past, connect it to the present, and inspire future generations.
