New Jersey Black mamas deserve to flourish and thrive during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
In New Jersey Black women are 7-8 times more likely to die from a pregnancy related complication. Over 92% of those deaths are preventable. Our programs are designed to restore JOY and ensure ZERO preventable maternal deaths using models that are designed by and for Black women.
Our Approach
We believe that Black models of care should be utilized in the service of holistic care to Black women. The programs we develop center birth equity and the lived experiences of Black women to keep Black women safe during pregnancy and beyond so that they may experience joy in motherhood.
