Meet Your Teacher

Abbe Blacker

I grew up with my mother and her friends playing Mah Jongg. The clicking sounds of the tiles and the laughter — those were the sounds of my childhood.

I love that I'm building on that memory by teaching others how to play. Mahj is so good for our brains, and it's a wonderful way to spend time with friends — and make new ones.
