SC Black Maternal Health Collective

We are so grateful to share that the South Carolina Black Maternal Health Collective has received a $15,000 grant from the Cypress Fund!

When we started this journey, we simply wanted to make a difference and create spaces where Black mothers and families felt seen, heard, supported, and valued. To see others believe in that same vision and invest in the work we are doing means more than words can express.

As a grassroots organization, moments like this remind us that even the smallest beginnings can lead to something truly meaningful.

A heartfelt thank you to the Cypress Fund for believing in our mission and helping us continue to grow. This funding will help us strengthen our programs, reach more families, and continue showing up for our communities in ways that truly matter. We know there is still so much work to be done, and we are grateful for every opportunity to keep moving forward.

This has always been bigger than us, and we’re just getting started!

Please allow me to reintroduce myself…

My name is Jamia Walcott, the Founder of this beautiful organization I call the South Carolina Black Maternal Health Collective.

I started this organization in my last semester of my Master’s degree, working full time and planning a wedding. With literally ZERO money in my account I created my non profit and planned to host a community baby shower in my hometown. If you truly know me, I’m DETERMINED.

In August 2024 I hosted our first community baby shower in Florence, SC providing over 100 moms with baby essentials. Two years later, our 2025-2026 baby showers have been fully sponsored.

I went from driving from Rock Hill to Florence each month personally delivering free diapers and wipes out the trunk of my car to moms in the community to having a warehouse full of supplies to give back to my community.

I’m not a mother but a certified auntie, who shows up for my village without hesitation because as the saying goes, it takes a village.

I can’t wait to see what the next 5-10 years holds for our organization.

Xoxo
Mia 🤍
