Yesterday's NBNA's Men's Virtual Bowtie: Dad's Matter: Supporting Families Through Pregnancy and Beyond was amazing. Dr. Dara Skinner started us off with an informative presentation. Dr. Marie P. Wilson was the moderator and I was co-panelist with Dr. Derrick C. Glymph and Brad Edwards of Dads to Doula. Thank you Aron King, MS, RN and Jose Perpignan Jr. for co-organizing this event. Thanks to all of you who attended.

Centering joy in the Black birthing experience means safety, respect, cultural connection, and community.
We deserve care that honors our voices, protects our bodies, and uplifts our lives.
Black birthing people deserve dignity, safety, and respect before, during, and after childbirth. 🖤
Black birthing joy is power. 🖤✨
— Dr. Lucinda Canty | Lucinda’s House

Lucinda's House was created to address Black maternal health with education, community, and research.

Please support this senior nursing student (future L&D nurse) who is doing research for her honors project. She wants to understand what helps patients advocate for themselves during childbirth.

Someone dropped off a donation for our holiday community baby shower at Lucinda’s house with a student that I am working with. She did not get their name. Could you let me know if it was you?

Thank you so much. I appreciate your support. I want to be able to send you a personal note.

Grateful for Community Support!

Lucinda’s House continues to grow because of the generosity and kindness of our community.

A heartfelt thank-you to Barbara P. of Windsor, who donated coats and socks, and to Allison LaCross of Fairfield County, who collected donations in her community for mom and baby supplies — including pajamas for moms, baby clothes, diapers, wipes, socks, and postpartum and breastfeeding essentials.

Your contributions help us support birthing families with the care, comfort, and dignity they deserve. It truly takes a village, and we are so thankful for ours! 💕
