BLACK BIRTHS MATTER.
Community midwifery care can be life changing and life saving for Black birthing people.
Our mission is the bridge the racial health disparity gap through culturally safe, community based reproductive care.
Making change and improving outcomes in our community.
The Black Home Birth Initiative is a 501c3 non-profit organization that is impacting racial health disparities through culturally safe midwifery care, community education, and working to increase the numbers of Black home birth midwives in our communities.
Systemic racism in healthcare is a public health emergency for Black people in America.
Black birthing people are dying during the childbearing year at rates 3-12 times the rate of white birthing people in the United States. Access to community midwifery with a Black midwife is vital for the health and wellbeing of Black birthers and their babies.
