Inside women’s prisons, basic items like pads, soap, toothpaste, and other everyday essentials aren’t always easy to access. That should never be normal.

We’re putting together care kits for Black mothers at Baylor Women’s Prison in New Castle, DE - because care does not stop at the prison gate.

Motherhood doesn’t clock out.
It’s school drop-offs, late nights, bills, emotions, healing, and still being the steady one.

We’re holding space in Delaware for Black moms to breathe. You can talk. You can listen. You can just sit quietly. No pressure. No fixing. No pretending.

A licensed therapist will guide the hour so the conversation feels safe and supported. If you’ve been running on empty, this is your pause.

Next Gathering for Moms
🗓 Saturday, May 2, 2026
⏰ 1:00 - 2:00 PM
📍 2215B N. Washington St., Wilmington, DE (Concord Ave. entrance)

Black Mothers In Power is building a Reading Corner at our Resource Fair & Juneteenth Block Party - and we’re calling on community members to show up for the babies!

We’re looking for Volunteers who are ready to read stories about Black people, Black history, and Black joy.

When children hear stories about who they are and where they come from, it builds imagination. It builds confidence. It builds power.

If you believe Black children deserve to see themselves in books…
If you believe literacy is liberation…

Today we recognize Freedom Day in South Africa - the day the apartheid regime was defeated through the power, resistance, and determination of Black people.

On April 27, 1994, millions of Black South Africans voted for the first time after generations of colonial violence, stolen land, and state terror. Freedom Day is a reminder that liberation is never handed over. It is fought for. It is organized for. It is defended by the people.

We honor the mothers, grandmothers, organizers, workers, and freedom fighters who carried that struggle on their backs and in their hearts.

From Wilmington to Johannesburg, Black people continue the fight for housing, healthcare, safety, and self-determination.

Freedom belongs to the people.

When the legal system shows up in your life, it can feel heavy fast. Court dates. Forms. Calls you didn’t expect. Stress that doesn’t leave you alone.

You don’t have to go through it by yourself.

Participatory Defense is a space for Black mothers and families in Delaware to come together, talk things through, and support one another. People share information, ask questions, and help each other make sense of what’s happening.

Wednesdays
6:30 PM - 8:30 PM

Mamas, you are not just surviving the day - you are the masterpiece in progress. Every lesson learned, every meal made, every tear cried, every plan written down, and every dream you refuse to release is part of your story.

You are allowed to grow in pieces and still be whole. You can care for your family and still care for yourself. Your life is sacred work, and nobody can define your value but you. Your worth is not up for debate.

Keep building. Keep healing. Keep choosing yourself too.

Black Mothers In Power is back with “You Gon’ Learn” - a summer series built for us, by us!

Session 1: How to Advocate for Yourself in Healthcare
Thursday, June 4 | 6-8 PM
BMIP Center, 2215B N. Washington St., Wilmington, DE

Black women and birthing people are often ignored, dismissed, or harmed in medical spaces. We’re not accepting that. We’re learning how to name it, push back, and protect ourselves and our families.

We’ll cover real tools like:
• Asking the right questions
• Documenting your care
• Knowing your patient rights
• Recognizing medical racism when it shows up

BMIP is also seeking facilitators to lead sessions in this series. If you have knowledge rooted in community and care, we want to hear from you! Sign up here: https://bit.ly/4sHPqhl

Black mothers and families in Wilmington deserve to eat - period.

The BMIP Community Fridge and Pantry is here because too many in our communities are being left out and left hungry. We’re not waiting on systems that fail us. We’re feeding each other.

If you can give, help us keep it stocked:
* canned goods, rice, pasta, cereal
* fresh fruits, vegetables, bread
* drinks, snacks, baby food

Drop off donations at:
BMIP Center Community Fridge
2215B N. Washington St., Wilmington, DE (on Concord Ave.)

We appreciate everyone who’s already shown up. This is what community care looks like - real, consistent, and rooted in love.
