Sisters it’s August!

Check out our events for this month

08/05/2026

Today marks the beginning of Black Philanthropy Month, and we’re honoured that Rooted in Wisdom has been selected to participate through Givebutter.

Throughout August, every eligible donation of $10 or more made to our Blooming Distribution Days campaign on Givebutter will receive an additional 5% match from Givebutter’s $20,000 Black Philanthropy Month matching fund. That means your generosity stretches even further to help women, children, and families access essential care and supplies.

Blooming Distribution Days provide menstrual products, maternal and baby essentials, hygiene supplies, wellness resources, and practical support for our community. Every contribution helps us place dignity, health, and hope directly into someone’s hands.

If you’ve been looking for a meaningful way to support a Black led nonprofit this month, this is a beautiful opportunity to make an even greater impact.

Whether you give $10 or $100, every gift matters. Every share matters. Every person who joins this mission helps us build healthier, stronger communities.

Thank you for believing in the work we’re doing. Together, we’re planting seeds that will continue to bloom for generations.

📚✨ COMMUNITY OUTING ALERT ✨📚

We’re heading to the Black Girl Book Fair on July 11th, and we’d love for you to join us!

Before the fair, we’ll gather at a Black owned bookstore and arrive by 10:30 AM, then spend the day celebrating Black authors, Black stories, literacy, culture, and community together.

Whether you’re a passionate reader, a collector of books, an aspiring writer, or simply looking for a meaningful way to connect with others, this outing is for you.

There is something powerful about gathering around stories that reflect our experiences, our history, and our future.

RSVP through our Luma event so we know you’re joining the Rooted in Wisdom community group. You’ll also need to reserve your free ticket through the official event registration.

Bring a friend, bring your book list, and bring your love of reading. We can’t wait to see you there. 🤎

Wondering how you can support Rooted in Wisdom?

There are more ways than you might think 🤎

1. Donate
Every dollar makes a difference. Whether it’s $1, $10, $100, or more, your support helps us provide resources, education, scholarships, community programmes, and direct support to women and families. Monthly giving is especially powerful. Imagine what could happen if 100 people committed just $10 each month.

2. Purchase Items From Our Registry
Prefer to give tangible items instead of money? We completely understand. Our Amazon registry allows you to send supplies directly to the families and communities we serve. We’ll drop the link below.

3. Volunteer Your Time
We are always looking for virtual and in person volunteers. Whether you can help at events, assist with administrative tasks, support distributions, or lend a specialised skill, your time is valuable.

4. Share Your Network
You never know who you know. Introduce us to speakers, healthcare professionals, community leaders, businesses, sponsors, grantmakers, landowners, educators, or anyone who may align with our mission. One introduction can open doors that change lives.

5. Sponsor A Scholarship
Many of the families and individuals we serve cannot afford the support they need. Your contributions help fund scholarships for services, educational programmes, mentorship opportunities, birth support, internships, wellness resources, and more. Every scholarship removes a barrier and creates an opportunity.

6. Spread The Word
Like, comment, share our posts, invite a friend to an event, tell someone about our work. Advocacy costs nothing and helps us reach the people who need us most.

Rooted in Wisdom is built on community. Every donation, every volunteer hour, every shared post, every introduction, and every act of generosity helps us continue this work.

Thank you for believing in what we’re building 🌳

Black Maternal Health Week, held each year from April 11 to 17, calls you to face the truth and act with intention.

Every two minutes, a woman dies from pregnancy or childbirth. Black women carry a far heavier burden. In the United States, Black women are about three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. This is a systems failure, not a personal one.

You cannot claim to support Black maternal health while excluding the very people who have sustained it for generations.

Midwives save lives. That includes nurse midwives, certified professional midwives, and traditional midwives. Especially traditional midwives. These are the birth keepers who hold ancestral knowledge, who serve communities often ignored by formal systems, who provide care that is continuous, culturally grounded, and deeply relational.

When you limit midwifery to only what is recognised by institutions, you narrow access. You strip families of choice. You erase practices that have kept Black and Indigenous communities alive long before modern medicine entered the room.

If you want safer births, you invest in all pathways of midwifery care. You protect traditional midwives. You fund their work. You create systems that allow them to practise freely and safely alongside other providers.

At Rooted in Wisdom, this is what we stand on. We train birth workers. We support families. We build community care that does not begin and end in a hospital room.

Black maternal health is about access. It is about respect. It is about restoring what has always worked.

Support the work. Fund the care. Protect the midwives.
