The Initiative

We know pregnancy for Black people is risky, but it shouldn't be.

Launched during Black Maternal Health Week in 2023, we created an in-person interactive experience to better understand the challenges our community faces throughout their pregnancy, birthing, and parenting journeys.

Thank you to those who shared your perspectives along the way! Check out the latest highlights from our Mommy Listening Tour.

COMMUNITY: The stuff that couldn’t be quantified
Some common themes emerged as we listened, particularly around these topics:
  • Nontraditional births
  • Healthcare bias and being heard
  • Family systems in Black motherhood
  • The power of doulas and midwives
  • Mental health and postpartum support
