Mission
Our organization was named in honor of our Granny midwives who paved the way for birth communities & birth professionals today. Our Granny Midwives acted as both community healers and baby catchers to the communities not accepted by society. They were the life line for black and rural communities. As their profession was colonized we carry on the legacy while ensuring BIPOC birthing people have a safe space as we fight the Black Infant & Maternal Health Crisis and the challenges or transitioning through the penal child welfare and transitional housing systems.
