We are excited to share an upcoming series of virtual "Lunch and Learn" opportunities created for community birthworkers, home visitors, and those working across perinatal health.
These sessions are designed to support your work in a meaningful and grounded way by offering space for learning, reflection, and connection. Each gathering will center practical tools, shared knowledge, and approaches that strengthen how we show up for our families and communities.
Whether you are new to this work or have been walking alongside families for years, these offerings are for you.
Registration is available through the QR code included in the flyer. We encourage you to register early, as space may be limited.
We look forward to being in community with you.

For us, Black Maternal Health Week isn’t just one week. It’s 365, and we are lifting up the voices demanding change.

BWHI’s Lisa Cunningham sat down with Midwife Jamarah Amani, licensed midwife and co-founder of the National Black Midwives Alliance, to discuss her lawsuit challenging Georgia’s restrictive midwifery laws, some of the most limiting in the country.

More than 50% of Georgia’s counties are maternity care deserts. The state’s maternal mortality rate remains above the national average, and 87% of those deaths are deemed preventable.

This conversation traces the deep roots of Black midwifery in the South, the deliberate policies that pushed birth workers out of communities that needed them most, and what it means to demand your rights out loud.
