We’re celebrating & honoring our Black Birthworkers, Granny midwives & the Black Matriarchs who have paved the way for all babies to be born safely & their parents supported.

“The history of birthwork traces back to the Transatlantic Slave Trade, where knowledge from West African birth traditions survived the Middle Passage and was brought to the United States. These medical practitioners, equipped with indigenous wisdom, took care of enslaved pregnant people, their babies, and even pregnant slaveholders. Post-emancipation, “granny midwives,” as they were called, took care of pregnant people of all races across the country, often being the only care providers, especially in rural communities. (urge.org)” 

This month, we celebrate the rich history of our birthworking ancestors, such as Biddy Mason, Mary Frances Hill Coley, and recently, Dr. Janell Green Smith. These women and others created a path for current and future birthworkers to embrace strength, resistance, and an unwavering commitment to reproductive advocacy to ensure that Black folks get the care they need and deserve.

is a promise & a commitment✊🏿

Dia de los Inocentes🕯️

This virtual grief circle honors the lives of babies, children, and pregnancies lost - whether recently or long ago. Rooted in the cultural traditions of Día de los Inocentes, it offers a gentle, guided space to remember, grieve, and create in community. Whether you’re a parent, relative, or community member touched by loss, you are welcome here.

Together, we’ll reflect on personal and collective grief, explore simple ways to create altars or ofrendas, and choose between two creative paths: a virtual altar-making session or a guided writing ritual. We’ll close with quiet reflection and optional sharing in community.

A candle (optional)
A photo or item to represent your loss (optional)
Paper and pen
Your presence, just as you are

Wave of Light🕯

Join us on October 15th, 6–8 PM at Obodo Farm for a gentle evening of remembrance and community. Together, we will honor the Wave of Light—a worldwide movement to remember infants and babies gone too soon. Pregnancy loss families, partners and support persons are welcomed and encouraged to attend.

The evening will include a guided activity, a candlelight vigil, and an open space to share, reflect, and connect. This gathering will hold space for grief, love, and healing in community.

This event is donation-based and open to all who wish to come together in remembrance and support. Anyone desiring to donate can do so in person at the event or beforehand through our website donation page.

1 in 4 people experience pregnancy loss. #1 in 7 experience infertility or difficulty conceiving (including ).
1 in 175 experience stillbirth, the same rate of babies who die in the 1st year of life in the US.

But we (& our babies) are more than numbers. Many of us who steward the mission at Heart & Sol are loss parents. We have shared our experiences with each other, in community, in blogs or on podcasts & have allowed our losses to inform how we serve our community. Supportive community is where our grief can be witnessed & our stories can help others feel seen. For example, .a.y._and_m.e spoke on about her twin pregnancy loss due to complications of Hyperemesis Gravidarum shortly after her losses & shared this year on her socials, with nuance & vulnerability, her experience with

Part of our mutual aid offerings include loss doula scholarships so local families can get the support they need to navigate unthinkable loss, whether that loss happened yesterday or a few years ago. We all deserve the space to grieve & honor our babies.

This year we moved our anniversary party to September so we could create space to host multiple loss centered events we have been longing to offer. We are looking forward to sharing space with other loss parents at our upcoming gatherings this month. You are not alone.

In the meantime, here are some loss resources (locally & otherwise) you may find helpful:












If you would like to share any accounts that speak to infertility, pregnancy loss, stillbirth or infant loss, please put them in the comments.

Rooted in Purpose Honorees🌳🤲🏿

This year marks 5 years for us an organization & 5 year anniversaries are represented by wood🪵. Wood is durable, a sign of growth, with deep roots.

When thinking about who we wanted to highlight & thank in our community this year, we looked to the OGs. Birth work in general has a high burn out rate due to secondary trauma & the large emotional demands of this sacred role, with the average doula lasting less than 3yrs in the field. However this year’s honorees have been around for at least 10yrs, serving as pillars in the birth-work community within Clark County.

has served as a doula, midwife, educator & legislative advocate for families & perinatal professionals in Nevada for more than 15+ years!

just celebrated her 10 year anniversary of running the Human Milk Donation Depot (1 of 2 in all of Clark County) & has 17yrs of experience in the field as an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) & advocate.

has served as a doula, educator & midwife for a decade. 10 years ago, she was one of only a few birthworkers in the community who was Spanish speaking in the Valley.

Some of us entered the field with them a decade ago & we have loved watching their evolutions. Those newer to birthwork, are grateful to learn from their invaluable experiences & wisdoms. The seeds they planted along the way are now sturdy trees families & colleagues can find respite under.

We are grateful for all they do to protect, steward & transform reproductive health in our community!
