Black Maternal Health Week

April 17 6-7:30 PM – What is Black Maternal Health Week? 


In celebration of Black Maternal Health Week Doula Courtney West, owner of 3 Gems Birth Services, partner, with MoM Empowerment Facilitator Sierra Clark to have an open discussion on how empowerment effects black maternal health.


Many times we hear disturbing numbers of maternal mortality and morbidity in the Black community. We don’t always hear the ways to make change in this area.


During this 90 minute conversation we will address some of the current concerns around birth in the US, talk about the practicalities of birth, and why awareness around black maternal health is essential.


With empowerment, education, passion and love we can make the change. Online at IG and in-person at MoM. We’d love to see you in person. Register here. Register here or call 877-711-MOMS (6667) and leave a message
