This is the power of storytelling.

The power of a voice that refuses to be quiet. The power of words that move mountains, unlock doors, and demand to be felt. The Ebony Canal is more than a documentary it is a reclamation. It uplifts the stories the world tried to ignore. It amplifies the voices that were silenced. It carves pathways where none existed, ensuring the forgotten are not only seen but remembered, honored, and celebrated.

Im honored to witness it, to stand within it and to be part of this moment in history. That is legacy work, generational impact in film.

Congratulations to the entire TEC team! We made history!

THE EBONY CANAL wins big at the 57th Annual
NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Short Form Documentary film. The 1st Maternal + Infant Health film to win since 1967.

For 57 years, stories have been celebrated on this global stage and now this love letter has been recognized at the highest level and shifts culture. This award belongs to the courageous women around the country who shared their truth.

This art is about illumination, education, and the protection of life.

Before the baby arrives, we gather around the mother. 🤍

A Mother’s Blessing Ceremony is an intimate gathering that honors the mother’s transition into parenthood. Through reflection, affirmations, and community care, we create space for her to be held, witnessed, and supported.

This is not a baby shower.
This is about her.

Facilitated with cultural reverence and family choice.
📍In-home or community-based

Black joy is not separate from Black survival.
It is because of joy, community, and care that our babies thrive.

Infant mortality reminds us of the work still needed—but Black Birth Renaissance reminds us of what’s possible when we gather, protect, and celebrate life.

Join us for a Community Day rooted in joy, culture, and the future of our children.
✨ Because living past the first birthday is worth celebrating—every time.

📅 April 17, 2026 | 4–7PM

Postpartum is not an afterthought.
It is not a footnote.
It is not “when you get back to normal.”

Postpartum is a sacred healing window where the body, mind, and spirit are recalibrating after birth.

Yet, in modern systems, support for mothers ends far too soon.

Our ancestors understood this. They centered rest, nourishment, warmth, and community , because they knew that how a mother is cared for shapes her long term health and the wellbeing of her family.

This month, we are reclaiming postpartum care the ancestral way.

Because mothers deserve more than survival … they deserve restoration.

Benefits of Pot Likker :

Blood Replenishment 🩸

Rich in iron, folate, and chlorophyll

Supports recovery from blood loss during birth

Traditionally given to “build the blood” after labor

Blood is vital in pregnancy for delivering oxygen and nutrients to the baby, removing waste, increasing maternal blood volume for the baby's needs and as a hemorrhage reserve, and screening for complications like anemia or Rh incompatibility.

pot likker is the mineral rich broth left behind after slowly cooking collard greens and other leafy greens. While pot likker has deep roots in West and Central African culture its tradition travelled the transatlantic route as well. Traditions passed down through story telling and preserved.
