Black Mothers In Power is a grassroots organization designed to acknowledge, address, and rectify the systemic inequities Black mothers and their children face in America today.

We are dedicated to creating and developing policies and regulations to acknowledge these inequities fully within our political and social climate; curriculums and training to address stigmatized beliefs regarding Black maternal health; and community programming to rectify these issues in tangible ways.

Mission Statement: To raise awareness around racial health disparities for Black women and children by using grassroot organizing and programming to challenge systematic systems that infringe on their human rights
