Black midwifery in America today is a tapestry woven from the stories of Black people from diverse backgrounds. Black midwives have shared legacies and histories, bonded by the richness of African ancestry and the Afro-experience, whether they identify as Black, African, African American, Afro-Caribbean, Afro-Brazilian, Black British, Afro-Latinx, Melanated, or African descended: Africa.
This is where our story begins.
Midwifery care is holistic, healing, and humanistic. It has a rich herstory and legacy in communities of color.
Our vision is to make this care accessible to all peoples- especially Black, Brown, youth, immigrant, indigenous, LGBTQ+, low- income and other marginalized communities.
Our mission is to expand Birth Justice by using story telling, popular education, and community organizing to improve access to midwifery and doula care.
