MELANIN & MATERNAL WELLNESS
Our "Birth" Story
Founded July 6, 2017, in the midst of a high-risk pregnancy, resulting in preeclampsia, an emergency cesarean, and preterm birth, it was this experience that led to the "birth" of Melanin and Motherhood in 2017, now known as Melanin and Maternal Wellness (MandMW). Originally established as a blog, and platform for Black mothers to unify around our unique journey through motherhood MandMW has evolved over the past five years. Centering Black mothers, babies, and birth outcomes, MandMW is also an advocacy organization for maternal health equity.
​
As of 2020 MandMW expanded yet again, to offer prenatal, labor and delivery, and postpartum doula services!
​
Mission driven to further our reach, providing equitable maternal health services and resources that are community-based, we are proud to announce that we are now a nonprofit organization (501C3)!
