“Our Bodies Belong to Us:
Restoring Black Autonomy and Joy!”
Black Maternal Health Week (BMHW) was founded and led by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance in 2018. BMHW is a national week of awareness, activism, and community building intended to:
-
Deepen the national conversation about Black maternal health in the US.
-
Amplify community driven policy, research, and care solutions.
-
Center the voices of Black Mamas, women, families, and stakeholders.
-
Provide a national platform for Black-led entities and efforts on maternal health, birth and reproductive justice.
-
Enhance community organizing on Black maternal health.
