MELANIN & MATERNAL WELLNESS

A.S.È. Birth Village

Affirming Safe & Equitable Birth

A.S.È. Birth Village is a collective of Black voices, bonded by our distinctive paths to, through and in support of motherhood.  Through education and action, we are “front line” advocates and activists striving to achieve health equity for Black mothers and babies.

We advocate for, equitable funding for Black, culturally-congruent, community-aligned maternal health resources, and support pro-Black health equity legislation, and anti-racist medical protocols and policies, to ensure high quality and uncompromising medical care, as a means to combat the disproportionality of the disparities in maternal health, including black maternal morbidity, mortality, and preterm birth.
