Mamapalooza, initiated by Joy Rose of New York City, besides being a series of concerts across the country in May, the month of Mothers' Day, is also The Motherhood Foundation, The Mom Egg Literary Publication and a host of other entities. I undertook to present a Mamapalooza concert in Austin. We presented many different kinds of performers and artisans, all of whom are moms -- in an effort to empower other women to continue making their art while raising their families.
