By Amber McKynzie · Updated October 27, 2020

Christmas came in July for deserving single moms in the Los Angeles.

In light of recent marks of violence, rapper The Game and Single Moms Club star Zulay Henao are looking to shed some positivity on the world by giving single mothers a chance to win free groceries for a month. The Game took to Instagram yesterday to announce the pair’s joint #YoMamaMyMama campaign, in partnership with Partners in Kynd, to give back to single mothers.

The rapper posted a video with an accopmanying caption announcing the news. “Today, we’re taking you & your mother to the grocery store in your neighborhood & hooking her up with groceries for a month,” he said.

So… (Deep breathe) lol…. Okay, me & @Zulay_Henao in association with @PartnersInKynd have come up with a campaign called #YoMamaMyMama to accept the same responsibilities for your mothers as we would our own. So today, we're taking you & your mother to the grocery store in your neighborhood & hooking her up with groceries for a month….. Here's what we need from you: 1st, FOLLOW @PartnersInKynd NOW & secondly do a 30 second video stating your mothers name, what she means to you & why she deserves to be chosen as the MOTHER OF THE DAY today & don't forget to tag both me & @Zulay_Henao as well as hashtag #YoMamaMyMama in the caption of your video once you post it on your page…… 3rd, put the city you're from & the hashtag #YoMamaMyMama & tag 3 friends in the comments on @PartnersInKynd's page. DO NOT & I repeat DO NOT do this in my comments nor @Zulay_Henao's comments or you will automatically DISQUALIFY yourself from your mama being hooked up !!!! Again, the video should be posted on YOUR OWN PAGE & the city you're from & the hashtag #YoMamaMyMama should be put in @PartnersInKynd's comments or DIRECT MESSAGE… If sent to my dm or Zulay's they will be ignored…. Can't wait to hear your stories & go grocery shopping today with you & your mother !!!! If you're not in Los Angeles, the grocery money can be pay pal'd to you or yo mama from us so that you can take your mother grocery shopping on US !!!!! If you are selected from out of town, we ask that once you are shopping with your mama… You send us video to post on our pages….. This is another push in the direction of POSITIVITY & UNIFICATION for us & people all over the world !!! #PartnersInKind #PIK #TheRobinHoodProject #KindnessIsSexy
