Honored to stand with our 'mother'🥰/Alliance partner @sistersong_woc for Black (in)Fertility Awareness Week 2026 (BIAW), advocating for Black communities facing (in)fertility challenges or seeking to create families. #BIAW2026 #FertilityJustice
BMHinAction! 💜 #BMHW26 was in April (11-17), but its purpose is still moving. Phoebe Wescott joined the Jamaa Birth Village Black Maternal Health Summit in St. Louis that week, connecting with doulas and midwives advancing community-rooted care. #BMHinAction #BlackMaternalHealth
It's Black Maternal Mental Health Week. Black women and birthing people are disproportionately impacted by perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and far less likely to get treatment or follow-up care. BMMA's factsheet has the data: blackmamasmatter.org/literature #BMMHW26
We appreciate Georgia Health Initiative for supporting #BMHC26 as an In-Solidarity Sponsor on September 10–12 in Atlanta, GA. We are glad to have them with us. 💜
