✨ Restored. Empowered. Reimagined. ✨

Black Birth Justice had the honor of attending Leadership Reimagined in New Orleans.

As leaders, advocates, and changemakers, we spend so much of our time pouring into our communities, supporting families, and advancing reproductive justice. Leadership Reimagined reminded us that leaders need spaces to be nurtured, supported, and poured into as well.

Through transformative peer coaching, meaningful conversations, and phenomenal facilitators, we gained new tools, fresh perspectives, and a renewed sense of purpose. We arrived excited and curious. We left feeling restored, empowered, and ready to continue the work with even greater intention.

Thank you to the Ms. Foundation for Women for investing in leaders and organizations committed to creating lasting change. We carry these lessons, connections, and inspiration back to Louisville and into every family and community we serve.

🖤

Postpartum preeclampsia doesn’t always wait — it can happen days or even weeks after delivery. Severe headaches, vision changes, swelling, nausea, shortness of breath, or high blood pressure after birth are not something to brush off. If something feels off, seek care immediately. Your life and your healing matter.
