MISSION


Black Mothers in Power seeks to eradicate racial health disparities for Black birthing people and Black babies throughout Delaware.

At BMIP we see the word “Mother” as an all-encompassing term. Mothers are not confined to gender or those who have given or can give physiological birth. Mothers of all shapes, sizes, genders, and ways of “birthing” are welcome here. Not all who give birth physically are mothers or have children. We recognize the nuance and privilege of being a Mother on this plane of existence could never be defined in the narrow view of physiological birth. So whether you are a Drag Mother, Earth Mother, or Mother of Dragons. BMIP sees you.

 
 

VISION


Black Mothers in Power envisions a state where all Black birthing people are informed about their birthing rights, have autonomy over their reproductive decisions, and are treated equitably in the healthcare system.

Our exclusive members-only platforms are an integral part of changing the birthing experience for all Black people in Delaware. All members immediately unlock access to Birth Justice training at no additional cost.

You'll contribute to an active social justice committee and network with other local birthing people and Birthworkers to advocate for systematic changes that genuinely save lives.
