Our Vision

We envision a future where women and birthing people trust their support team, enabling them to have positive birth experiences so they can step into motherhood with grace and confidence.


Our Queens

Black mamas are queens - let them birth!
Dear Queens...

Support Is Our Birthright

All women and birthing people have the RIGHT to safe, supported, empowered, and beautiful birth experiences.

There is a Black maternal health crisis in our country right now. Black women die at 3-4 times the rate of white women during childbirth and 12x the rate of white women in NYC. Black babies are twice as likely not to reach their 1st birthday. These tragic statistics are just the tip of the iceberg. There are also significant racial disparities in breastfeeding. Rates for exclusive breastfeeding at age 3 months were 36% among black infants and 53% among white infants. (Source: CDC)

Saving Lives

Black mamas are of royal blood.
Let them birth like the queens they are.

Birth Queen is rising up to fight the Black maternal health crisis, on a mission to train and educate Black birth workers and support and empower Black parents. By doing this we will save the lives of Black mamas and babies! Your donation to Birth Queen will go to organizations we trust that are supporting mothers from pregnancy through to postpartum. These organizations provide resources like: childbirth education classes, birth and postpartum doulas, doula training, lactation consultants, Black Centering group prenatal and postpartum care and more!
