Trying to balance the scales for Expectant Black Families By Bringing Joy Back to Black Birth
What is Nubian Moms Program?
Nubian Moms is a program under Healthy Black Pregnancies designed to provide social support, care navigation and access to resources to Black women throughout their perinatal journeys (before, during and after pregnancy).
Why does it exist?
Nubian Moms program exists because Black women experience more stress-related complications related to obstetric racism and other social determinants of health during pregnancy, labor and delivery. Evidence shows that support through their journey helps.
Mission
To assist Black women in the Twin Cities metro area with needed support during their pregnancy and early postpartum journey so as to alleviate stressors that may lead to preterm birth or low-birth-weight babies.
Vision
Our vision is to improve the perinatal experience of every Black woman we touch and see the disparities experienced in the Maternal Health of Black women reduced and eventually eliminated in the Twin Cities Metro and Beyond!
Our Values
Accountability
As practitioners we believe the families we serve and the medical systems are equal stakeholders in creating a more equitable maternal health landscape for Black families.
Collaboration
We believe the work of promoting Black maternal health must be done in collaboration and cooperation with systems, community partners, and families in order to advance our mission and vision.
Compassion
We take action to foster relationships where our participants know that their humanity is valued and expect that treatment universally.
Advocacy
We believe in standing with and for our clients while promoting opportunities to increase their own self-advocacy with medical providers, systems, policy makers and beyond.
Engagement is Transformational
We intentionally create space for engagement and believe in the power of showing up for each other and being the solution to our own healing by virtue of community building.
Culturally Responsive
We center the Black experience and allow it to guide us in how we perform our work and create our programming.
