🌟 March Neighborhood Navigator Spotlight

This month we are proud to spotlight one of our most dedicated Neighborhood Navigators; Tawina Bizzell aka Bizzy 🐝

Through her organization, From One Mother to Another, she consistently goes above and beyond to support mothers and families in our communities. Her commitment is reflected not only in the number of moms she navigates each month, but in the genuine care and connection she brings to every family she serves.
In addition to her direct work with families, she also serves as the Navigator Carriers, picking up and helping distribute materials and supplies to fellow navigators to ensure everyone has the tools they need to serve their families effectively.

Bizzy, Thank you for your dedication, compassion, and the impact you continue to make for families every day.

March is celebrated globally as Women's History Month to honor the contributions of women to history, culture, and society!
We give special reverence to Black women in the birthing space—our grandmothers, midwives, doulas, healers, and advocates—who have carried generations through their hands, their voices, and their courage. Despite systemic barriers, Black women continue to lead with resilience, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to protecting life.

This month, we honor their contributions, uplift their voices, and reaffirm our commitment to equity, dignity, and empowered birth for every family. 🖤

🖤 February is Black History Month 🖤

We honor the ancestors who birthed life through love, resistance, wisdom, and faith; Past, Present, and Future.
The midwives, grandmothers, healers, and caretakers who held knowledge long before systems existed.
The lineage that continues to flow through our wombs, our families, and our futures.

🤎 Black birthing spaces are sacred.
🤎 Black motherhood is powerful.
🤎 Black families are legacy.

As we celebrate Black history, we uplift the beauty, strength, and wisdom rooted in Black life and birth.

✨ February is International Prenatal Infection Prevention Month ✨

This month is dedicated to raising awareness about prenatal infections—infections caused by viruses or bacteria that can be passed from mother to baby during pregnancy or childbirth.

🦠 While some prenatal infections can be tested for and treated, many can be prevented through timely care, healthy practices, and early intervention during pregnancy and labor.

💡 Know the signs. Trust your body.
If you think you’ve been exposed to a virus or bacterial infection—or notice unusual symptoms—contact your care team or physician right away.

🤍 Prevention, awareness, and advocacy help protect both parent and baby.

January is National Birth Defects Awareness Month. It serves as a reminder to increase awareness and education about the potential risks and preventive measures that can help ensure healthier outcomes for both mothers and their babies.

Pregnant Black women often face unique challenges and disparities in healthcare that can impact birth outcomes. Improving access to quality health services, and ensuring that all pregnant women receive the necessary screenings and support can prevent possible birth detects.

It is a collective responsibility to create a more inclusive and supportive environment where every expectant mother has the opportunity for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.
