Birthing the Magic Collaborative

A culturally attuned, responsive community providing education about women's & infants' health.

01/11/2026

2026 came in hot. Work is working, life is lifing, and somehow you are still the group chat therapist, the planner, and the backup plan. Cute. But also… exhausting.

If your nervous system has been quietly yelling “I need a reset,” this is for you.

🌟 All Together Now: Care. Connection. Community. 🌟

We’re bringing together two powerhouse women for a night that is equal parts real talk and restoration:
Dr. Joy Baker, OB and nationally recognized voice on perinatal emotional health, and
Dr. Chyna Hill of The Black Girls Mental Health Foundation, a therapist who actually gets what women are carrying right now.

This is not a “do better, try harder” webinar. It is a warm, nonjudgmental space for every woman, with Black women at the center, to exhale, laugh a little, tell the truth, and leave with simple ways to care for your own wellbeing without adding fifteen things to your to do list.

We will talk about what it really means to stop performing “strong,” how to notice when you are nearing your limit, and how to build the kind of community that can hold you, not just your responsibilities.

If your spirit has been asking for a sign, consider this it. Come get what you did not know you needed.

Some invitations are just calendar noise. This one is a little different.

All Together Now: Care. Connection. Community. is a live reset for Black women who are used to holding it all together. For one evening, you are not the strong one, the fixer, or the backup plan. You are the one being held.

We are bringing together something special
Two Black women physicians who see the whole you:
Dr Joy Baker, an OB with deep expertise in perinatal emotional health
and
Dr Chyna Hill of The Black Girls Mental Health Foundation, a psychologist grounded in Black women’s mental wellness.

This is not another “how to do more” session. It is a guided pause. A chance to check in with your body, tell the truth about how you are really doing, and hear from expert voices who understand the weight you carry and the joy you still want to feel.

For one night, we will:

* trade the “strong Black woman” script for honest conversation
* explore what real care could look like for you this year
* remember that community is something we can build on purpose

If your spirit has been whispering that something has to change, consider this your sign.

Join us for All Together Now and leave with one or two grounding practices you can take into the rest of 2026, and the reminder that you never have to carry all of this by yourself.

Have you been holding your breath lately.

If the news feels heavy, the pace feels relentless, and you are carrying more than you can name, this is for you.

All Together Now: Care. Connection. Community. is a free virtual gathering for anyone who needs a supportive space, practical tools, and a chance to exhale. Unlike much of our usual lineup, this is not specific to mamas. It is for anyone who needs room to breathe, reset, and feel held.

Featuring Dr. Joy L. Baker Leakes and Dr. Chyna Hill of The Black Girls Mental Health Foundation, moderated by Ajoa Ayesu Greenlee.

2026 has been life lifing a little too hard. The news is heavy, the group chats stay busy, and some days it feels like you are carrying three different storms in one body and still expected to smile. But who is holding you.

Join these powerhouse women for an honest, nonjudgmental conversation about care, connection, and community: Dr Joy Baker and Dr Chyna Hill of The Black Girls Mental Health Foundation.

Together we will challenge the stereotypes placed on Black women and our emotional well being, talk frankly about what we are carrying, name where connection already lives and where it is missing, and claim community as something we intentionally build and choose.

Join us and leave more grounded, more connected, and more committed to your own wellbeing.

Dr. Janell Green-Smith was a nurse midwife, and she died in childbirth.

That sentence stops you cold, because it makes no sense in the way that loss sometimes refuses to make sense. A nurse midwife is trained for this. She knows the science, the physiology, the risks, the warning signs, the clinical language, the rhythms of normal labor and the speed at which things can change. If knowledge could guarantee safety, she should have been protected.

And yet, she did not make it home.

There is grief in every maternal loss, but this one carries a particular weight. Not because her life is more valuable than anyone else’s, but because her training reminds us how fragile the assumption of safety can be. Even for someone who dedicated her life to bringing others through birth. Even for someone who understood, intimately, what can happen.

We do not know the details of what led to her death, and we should not speculate. What we do know is that a family has been shattered in a moment that should have been filled with joy. A baby has entered the world without the steady love that should have been waiting on the other side. A community has lost a healer, a professional, a woman whose work was rooted in care.

And it forces a reckoning that is bigger than any one story.

So when we ask, “How do we prevent another family from experiencing this kind of heartbreak,” the answer cannot be a single thing. It has to be a braided commitment.

It looks like no one navigating pregnancy or postpartum alone. It looks like care that stays close after delivery, with timely follow up and a clear path to urgent help when something feels wrong. It looks like culturally humble systems that move fast, without barriers or delay.

It also looks like a cultural shift. Women are encouraged to speak up early, and concern is met with respect. Care teams are supported to listen well, act decisively, and lead with humility. Safety is not left to luck, privilege, proximity, or insider knowledge.

Because birth should be sacred, safe, and supported.

Dr. Janell Green-Smith’s name deserves tenderness and resolve. Not as a symbol, but as a life. Her story should sharpen our insistence that maternal outcomes must change with urgency equal to what is at stake.

We will grieve. But, we won’t give up.

New year. Same mission. Deeper commitment.

No matter the circumstances, momma always brings the magic at Christmas. It’s hard, and it takes more out of you than people realize. We see you. We see the planning, the wrapping, the cooking, the coordinating, the keeping it together, and the choosing joy anyway. Your love is the magic.

Niecy Nash reminds us ❤️ believe in yourself.
