For the Conclusion of the 2024 Black Maternal Health Week, here is a bit about BMMA in their own words:
“The Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Inc. (BMMA) is a national network of Black women-led organizations and multi-disciplinary professionals who work to ensure that all Black Mamas have the rights, respect, and resources
to thrive before, during, and after pregnancy. BMMA honors the work and historical contributions of Black women’s leadership within their communities, and values the need to amplify this work on a national scale.
For this reason, BMMA does not have chapters. The alliance is composed of existing organizations and individuals whose work is deeply rooted in reproductive justice, birth justice, and human rights frameworks.
Thank you for joining us in observing the 7th annual Black Maternal Health Week 2024 ( ). Founded by BMMA, Black Maternal Health Week is a week of awareness, activism, and community-building aimed at
amplifying the voices of Black Mamas, bringing visibility to Black-led maternal health initiatives, and centering the values and traditions of the
reproductive and birth justice movements.”
