Our workshop with Book Harvest is now available on our YouTube channel.

Introducing Two Essential Workshops for Every Birthing Family and Their Village
Premature birth is not a rare story, it’s a reality that touches millions.
When 15% of babies are born too early, it means each of us knows families who have faced this risk. And when complications happen, the impact ripples far beyond the delivery room.

That’s why we’re offering two powerful workshops designed to inform, prepare, and strengthen the entire village that surrounds a birthing person.

➡️ Before the Due Date: Changing the Story on Premature Birth
Wednesday, November 19 | 7:00 PM ET

This workshop is your chance to get ahead of the curve. Learn what’s normal, what’s not, and what early changes deserve action. Move beyond myths and get grounded in clear, practical steps that protect pregnancy.

You’ll gain:
• Tools to spot early signs of preterm labor
• Habits that support a safer pregnancy
• What to ask during prenatal visits to protect yourself
• Guidance from Dr. Joy and Dr. J, two fierce advocates for maternal health

This is for expectant families — and for every doula, auntie, partner, and friend who wants to be prepared.

➡️ Strength in the Struggle: Lessons from a Complex Birth Journey
Thursday, November 20 | 7:30 PM ET

If Wednesday is about prevention, Thursday is about truth. Here, we learn from lived experience.
Lauren’s delivery shifted from calm to critical in minutes — she endured multiple surgeries, a coma, and a fight for her life. Yet her twins are now thriving. Her story carries lessons every family, birth worker, and provider needs to hear.

You’ll walk away with:
• Real strategies for advocating through fear, confusion, and chaos
• Insights on navigating bias, unexpected complications, and recovery
• A deeper understanding of what families need from their village
• Strength, solidarity, and hope

This is for anyone supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum — especially when things don’t go as planned.

📣 Why These Two Workshops Matter Together
☝🏽 One workshop teaches us how to act early.
✌🏽 The other shows us what it takes to survive the unexpected.

👥 Whether you’re an expectant parent or part of someone’s village, these sessions give you confidence, clarity, and community.

Join us for both. Share with your circle. Show up informed.

Nearly 15% of Black babies are born prematurely. That’s not a statistic we can look away from — it’s a call to action.

"Before the Due Date: Changing the Story on Premature Birth" is more than a workshop. It’s a chance for all of us to understand what leads to early labor, recognize the signs sooner, and learn how informed action can shift outcomes for our families.

If we want healthier beginnings and safer births, we have to show up for conversations like this — for ourselves, for the women we love, and for every baby whose story deserves time to unfold.

Join Dr. Janet Williams, a nationally recognized midwife, and Dr. Joy Baker, an equally esteemed OB-GYN, as they guide us through this essential conversation.

As we prepare for Strength in the Struggle: Prematurity, Power, and Possibility, let’s replace misinformation with truth, and judgment with compassion.

Every baby’s beginning is different, but every story deserves the same care, attention, and belief in what’s possible.

Before babies speak, they see, feel, and learn from you.
Every smile, every clap, every gentle motion teaches language, rhythm, and trust.

When you feed, sing, or read — your baby is watching, connecting, and learning.
That’s how literacy begins — not just with words, but with love in action. 🌼

Every story of survival begins with strength — often found in the struggle itself.
Behind every premature birth is a family learning to fight, trust, and hope all at once.

This November, we gather for a conversation that reminds us what’s possible when care becomes collaboration — when families are heard, and clinicians truly listen.
