Healthy Harlem Babies
Our mission is to support and empower Black expectant mothers in Harlem throughout their pregnancy journey, ensuring they have the knowledge and skills for a safe delivery and a healthy baby. To achieve this, we provide free weekly workshops led by skilled certified doulas. These workshops cover a range of topics, including safe birthing techniques, advocacy in the hospital, and newborn care. Our focus is on centering Black joy in childbirth, creating a positive and empowering environment. By supporting Black expectant mothers and infants in Harlem, we believe we can help raise the next generation of leaders. We firmly believe in birth justice, and are committed to helping every mother exercise her right to birth safely. We are honored to share this vision with our funding organization, Footholds Foundation, as well as countless birth justice advocates.
