Happy Black Midwives Day from the Historic Jamaa Birth Village Cultural Heritage Center💜

Black Midwifery is the original, foundational roots of all forms of midwifery, and the oldest profession in the world.🌿

Since antiquity, Black midwives have held mothers, babies and families in sacred, delicate, loving and wholesome care, embodying the earth & mother spirit in her hands as she ushers in new life.✨

Black midwifery began with the first humans that took breath on the continent of Africa (Alkebulan), and continued as a respected, honored and indigenous practice for generations over hundreds of thousands of years.🙏🏾

While the world since colonialism has not treated Black Indigenous midwives kindly, by attempting to shrink them into mere attendants or support people-at Jamaa-we restore, uphold and continue to grow their legacy through our cultural heritage institutions initiatives, creating a soft and endearing landing space for Black midwives through:

💜The Black Midwifery Museum: At the African Indigenous Midwifery Museum we educate, inspire and preserve the rich and vibrant history of Black midwifery across the diaspora since time immemorial, through exhibits, workshops, and educational series.

✨The AIM Library & Research Institute: Through the AIM LRI, we uphold the integrity, vast wisdom, and knowledge-containing the living evolution of midwifery through a well preserved archive, book collection, oral history record with first accounts, articles, audio visual material and more.

🧡Okunsola’s School of Traditional Midwifery: At OSTM, we restore the African Indigenous fractured midwifery lineage-with it’s destabilization being caused by patriarchy and colonialism-by educating, activating and teaching embodied midwifery skills spanning spiritual, cultural and clinical care, for future community midwives.

We continue to celebrate and uplift Black Midwives Everyday! Join us in this honor by donating to our work at: jamaabirthvillage.org/donate-jamaa/✨

A gentle reminder about our Car Seat Safety Check event this coming Monday, March 2 from 8:30–11:30 AM

If you’ve ever wondered whether your car seat is installed correctly, if it’s time to switch seats, or just want a second set of eyes — we’re here to help.

Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians will be on site to check installs, answer questions, and help you feel confident about your setup. For families who need extra support, we’ll also have a limited number of car seats available — including replacements for seats that are no longer safe or the right fit.

If possible, please arrive with your car seat installed and your child with you 🤍 In addition to checks and education, we do have a limited number of car seats available for families who need support — whether you don’t currently have one or your current seat is no longer safe or appropriate for your child.

Our goal is simple: to help ensure every child leaves properly secured and safe.

My heart broke when I saw this news…Rest in Power Queen 🖤

Rest in Peace
Dr. Janell Green Smith 🕊️
DNP, CNM, APRN

Dr. Janell Green Smith was a Black Midwife who dedicated her life to improving Black Maternal Health Outcomes. Dr. Janell spoke out about what brought her to midwifery, how maternal mortality rates in this country were mostly preventable, & how Black women should not have to fear death in birth.

The news that Dr. Janell Green Smith has tragically died during childbirth is absolutely heartbreaking ❤️‍🩹

We grieves her death as a systemic failure and injustice. Our hearts go out to her family, friends, & the midwifery community.

Say her name loud. Dr. Janell Green Smith should be here. Black women deserve to give birth without fear, with dignity & safety, she deserves to be here today.
