Black Maternal Health Week is all about celebration, awareness, and action. Because when we prioritize Black maternal health, we’re building a healthier future for us all!

Plus, we’re hosting two important events this week diving into critical conversations around HIV and pregnancy and Black women’s experiences with egg freezing. These are real, necessary dialogues that impact the future of Black maternal health.

From April 11–17, we’re celebrating, uplifting, and fighting for the health and well-being of Black mamas everywhere. This Saturday, we’re stepping out at the Black Maternal Health Walk & Block Party with Black Mamas Matter Alliance and we’d love to see you there!
