Today marks the start of Black Maternal Health Week (April 11–17) 📸 ✨
#FeministArtFeature
Founded by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance (blackmamasmatter), BMHW is a national campaign to raise awareness, advance policy initiatives, and continue working to reduce race-based disparate health outcomes.
This year’s theme, “Rooted in Justice & Joy,” marks a powerful milestone as Black Maternal Health Week celebrates its 10-year anniversary. It honors a decade of collective movement-building led by Black-led perinatal, maternal, and reproductive health organizations that have nurtured care, healing, and systemic change across communities.
The theme reflects both the strength and resilience of this work and the enduring realities it confronts, acknowledging the ongoing impact of systemic oppression, reproductive injustice, and health inequities on Black Mamas and birthing people. At the same time, it points us forward, toward a future grounded in restoration, justice, and joy.
