As we come to the end of Black Maternal Health Week, our feeds have been filled with so many positive stories and it’s been so beautiful to see. Now it feels like the right time for us to share ours 🖤

This year’s theme is “leading with solutions, not trauma,” and this really resonates with us. At Black Mothers Matter, we always try to lead from a place of joy 🖤

Last weekend, we hosted our fourth wellness retreat for Black mums — creating space for connection, rest, and reflection. Alongside important conversations around Black maternal mental health, we held a range of activities focused on both mental and physical wellbeing.

Spaces like this matter.

And we already can’t wait to host the next one ✨ 🖤

Yesterday marked the launch of our Listen, Learn & Lunch series — beginning with an important conversation on the impact of Ramadan and fasting on pregnancy and breastfeeding.

It felt really special to bring together healthcare professionals alongside members of our community, creating space to share knowledge, lived experiences, and meaningful dialogue.

A huge thank you to for supporting this event 🖤🤎
