What is in your personal care products may be impacting your health more than you know, and Black and Brown communities are bearing a disproportionate burden.

On June 2 at 12:30PM ET, join us for ‘Right to Know Part II: Solutions for Safer, Healthier Living,’ part of the BMMA 2026 Spring Perinatal Learning Series. Victoria Williams, DHA, LMSW, CBS, Member-owner and Advocacy Lead of Birthmark Doula Collective, and Gabrielle Jones, MA, MDP will explore toxic chemicals in personal care products and equip participants with practical tools to protect their clients and communities.
Register now at bit.ly/bmmalearn26.

Continuing education credits are available for this session.

Some of the most important work happening in communities doesn’t always make headlines.

It happens in listening sessions.
In safe conversations.
In checking on someone after a hard day.
In making people feel seen, heard, and supported.

At The Empowerment Foundation, we believe real change starts with community--with people who care enough to show up, speak up, and create space for one another.

Progress may not always happen overnight, but every conversation, every connection, and every act of care matters. 🖤

Keep showing up for your community. Someone may need it more than you realize.

Our babies deserve better. Our mothers deserve support. Our community deserves solutions. ✊🏾🖤

Join us for an important conversation at the “Hamilton County’s Infant Mortality Crisis: A Roundtable Discussion” as community leaders, advocates, healthcare professionals, and residents come together to address the realities behind infant mortality in our community — especially the disproportionate impact on Black families.

This is more than a discussion. It’s a call to action for awareness, advocacy, healing, and change. Together, we can create solutions that protect and uplift our mothers, babies, and future generations.
