Black Maternal Health Week 

Black Maternal Health Week (April 11-17, 2025), led by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance, centers on Healing Legacies: Strengthening Black Maternal Health Through Collective Action and Advocacy. This year’s focus highlights the power of Black-led organizations in driving systemic change and fostering community healing. As breastfeeding remains a vital yet inequitable aspect of Black maternal health, BMHW amplifies the voices and experiences of Black Mamas and birthing people while advocating for culturally responsive lactation support.
