Ama Oforiwa Idawa is an African-centered, home-based business owner and a Black single mom who homeschooled her child from birth to college. Her now 19 year-old son made the Dean's List during his freshman year and is currently in his sophomore year. Ama believes that being home with your child should not be a luxury and every mother should be able to be available to their child.

She is the founder of Idawa Management and is launching Sacred Black Mompreneurs Institute. She also assisted with organizing the Sankofa Homeschooling Co-op Community and the Sacred Circle Healing events of the African Traditional Spiritual Coalition, based in the Washington, DC area.

​

For over 10 years, she has created online presences for Black-owned, African-centered businesses and organizations. Ama has helped many Black-owned businesses and organizations launch their websites, email campaigns, special events, and workshops.

​

Ama graduated with a degree in Black Studies, from the City College of New York and minored in Business Administration. Several years later, while homeschooling her son, she also attended graduate school and started pursuing a MBA degree, minoring in Entrepreneurship. In 2018, she embarked on a self-healing journey, graduating/ascending from Queen Afua's Sacred Woman Rites of Passage program and went on to become a certified Sacred Woman Practitioner. Over the years, Ama and her son have also traveled to Ghana, Jamaica, Turks & Caicos, and the Bahamas, and also went on road trips to New York City, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Miami, Florida.

​

Ama has been a website designer and events managing consultant, as well as a virtual assistant, for over 15 years, all while being a stay-at-home homeschooling mom. She currently plans to serve other single Black moms by guiding them in launching their home-based businesses.
