“Midwives belong to the people, families and communities-not the system.”-Jamaa

This year we’re celebrating National Midwifery Week with midwives all over the globe who do this amazing work. We’re thanking every midwife who’s joined us in the fight to make birth better. We’re uplifting Black midwives and boldly bringing our cultural, ancestral and spiritual practices, right along with us! We’re reclaiming, proclaiming and joyously saying-Midwives are the answer! Bring back midwives to every community and village.💙

When the system has shattered the healing remedies, sacred generational ceremonies and practices that have benefited birthing women and families for years, we at Jamaa Birth Village call in the power and gift of Sankofa-to go back and get our wisdom, activate it and keep going.🙌🏾

Don’t forget who you are, don’t forget who WE are, and don’t forget what midwifery really is and what it really was before colonization and criminalization.

May midwives all over unite despite systemic credentials and call in recognition, investment and the support we so deserve. Happy National Midwifery week and Happy Community Midwife month, today and everyday.💙✊🏾💙
