Honoring Black Midwives: A Legacy of Resilience, Advocacy, and Healing

Black History Month is a time to celebrate the extraordinary contributions of Black individuals across all fields, and among them, Black midwives stand as pillars of strength, wisdom, and care. For centuries, we’ve played a vital role in maternal and infant health, preserving traditions, advocating for birth equity, and ensuring that families receive the support they deserve. Our journey has been marked by triumphs, challenges, setbacks, and comebacks—but through it all, our legacy of healing has endured.
