African American women are 3 times more likely to die during pregnancy & birth. We are transforming Black Maternal Health with culturally competent, comprehensive midwifery and doula care in Saint Louis. Our new Ferguson birth center & postpartum retreat haven will provide low-risk birthing people who don't have a support system at home, the opportunity to give birth, rest and heal in a safe & sacred space, while being nourished and cared for by experts in their community who look like them.

Community Peer Education
Help us close the disparity gap. The Perinatal Wealth Initiative™ aims to provide free training, education and Perinatal Wealth resource kits to 700-community members across the St. Louis region to support them in assisting their community members, friends, co-workers and/or family members who may be pregnant, with the tools, resources and support in making healthy informed choices, to increase the likelihood of having a full-term, healthy, positive birthing experience.
The Perinatal Wealth Initiative™ is a 1-year intensive project, aimed at eliminating disparities, lack of support and maternal health education in 20-of St. Louis's most vulnerable and poor zip codes, with high birth disparities and infant-maternal mortality rates for Black birthing people.
