At All Our Babies: Birthing in the Afrofuture, we believe that storytelling is an act of resistance, a tool for healing, and a portal to the future.

On Sunday, September 14, we invite you to join us in a space where truth is honored, not hidden. Through art, confessionals, multimedia installations, and oral histories, we’re telling the stories our systems forgot — but our spirits never did.

🗣️ Real voices.
🎨 Real experiences.
🖤 Real community.

Come to listen. Come to reflect. Come to be moved.

🗓️ Sunday, September 14
📍 Cleveland City Hall Rotunda

Black birth is sacred. So is our future.

Too many of our stories go untold. Too many of our babies are lost. Too many of our mamas are grieving in silence.

But not here. Not anymore.

On Sept 14, we gather to honor our stories, celebrate our culture, and imagine the future our ancestors dreamed of.

🎨 Immersive art
🗣️ Storytelling + community
🛖 Afrofuturist healing spaces
🍛 Food, joy, music, and movement

This is for us. For every Black mama, doula, healer, elder, and future ancestor.

📍 Cleveland City Hall Rotunda
🎟️ Free + family friendly

🖤 Why this matters...

Black mothers in America are 3 to 4 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes.
Our stories have been ignored, our traditions erased, our healing disrupted.

But we are changing that — with art, with truth, with vision.

✨ All Our Babies: Birthing in the Afrofuture is more than an event.
It’s a space to reclaim, to reimagine, and to celebrate Black birth, joy, and resilience.
