“Our Bodies STILL Belong to Us: Reproductive Justice NOW!” #BMHW24
Celebration of Life!
On April 13th, we celebrate Black Maternal Health Week 2024, Black culture, and health equity with a twist of health education, amplifying community voices, lived experience, inclusivity, and direct access to resources.
Black Maternal Week 2024 Celebration of Life centers The BLACK Collaborative Inc.’s 2024 initiatives to amplify our response to The U.S. Maternal Morbidity Crisis, which focuses on building a community informed of Safety and Responsiveness during childbirth. Our theme for 2024 is “Black Women Matter: Our Bodies, our Babies, our Life.”
​
Our Black Maternal Week 2024 Celebration of Life centers align with the CDC’s call for quality reproductive, maternal, and newborn care & Postpartum Support, in addition to offering skills and training on how to manage and cop with the very tangible consequences that stem from systemic oppression and the historical effects of racism and discrimination in America.
Black Maternal Health Week (BMHW) is a week of awareness, activism, and community building aimed at supporting and amplifying the voices of Black mamas. This program is made possible (in part) by a grant from bi3.
”bi3 is a grantmaker in health, leading to the day when every person has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible. ”
