Brooke Lam
Biography
Brooke is a third-generation American mah jongg player turned teacher, entrepreneur, and attorney who believes mah jongg is more than just a game—it’s a powerful tool for connection, wellness, and joy. Through creative lessons, vibrant events, and inclusive community spaces, she helps women—especially moms—learn the game, reduce stress, and build meaningful friendships.
Brooke has taught countless students, launched multiple businesses while raising two daughters, and has successfully run a tutoring company for over 17 years. She’s the founder of The Mahj Mom Club, Mahj + Miami, and Mahj and The City—all designed to make mah jongg modern, approachable, and fun.
Whether she’s teaching tile strategy or life strategy, Brooke brings warmth, creativity, and structure to everything she does. When she’s not leading a lesson, you’ll find her building her social media presence, focusing on health and wellness, volunteering at her daughters’ schools, or enjoying time with her husband, kids, and their dog.
