Centering Joy in the Black Birthing Experiance Conference STL
Make it stand out.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Black Maternal Health Week, observed April 11-17 during Minority Health Month, was started in 2018 by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance to raise awareness of maternal health disparities and help improve Black maternal health outcomes. Although there is great work in progress to improve regional Black maternal health outcomes, there is still much to be done in order to make birth safe and more satisfying for Black birthing families. With this conference, we not only want to acknowledge the great work being done in our region, but also hold space for health organizations and community members to unite across sectors to celebrate Black Joy in Birth as well as discuss innovative solutions to collectively address our region’s crisis. For this, Black Nurses Association of Greater St. Louis and New York City are partnering with the St. Louis Integrated Health Network in collaboration with a coalition of community organizations to bring a Black Maternal Health Conference to the Greater St. Louis Area.
