Sacred Birthing Village-SouthCoast

Sacred Birthing Village-SouthCoast 🌿 Birth is Liberation. Women are Power. Rooted in New Bedford. Our vision is a healthy community of mothers, fathers, and babies.

A revolutionary movement for BIPOC birth justice — Re-membering our ancestral rite, Re-claiming & restoring birth sovereignty, and building reciprocal community care.
✨ Built by us, for us. As a chapter-based project (Affiliated with Birthing Project USA), We are our sister’s keepers and understand it takes a village to mobilize change. We are women dedicated and committed to building sisterhood and standing with and supporting the pregnant women in our community through their most sacred journey: childbirth. We are the underground conductors on the underground railroad to new life, helping to close the disparity gap to give BIPOC and other mothers, fathers/partners (passengers), and families a safe, healthy, and thriving passage through pregnancy and childbirth to have and raise a healthy baby.

✊🏿 A Sacred Word from the Village

You may have seen the article in SouthCoast Today about Sacred Birthing Village and the $500K fellowship from Chicago Beyond.

But we know: only we can tell our story.

Because what we hold, what holds us, what we touch and what touches us must be shared with the same potency, joy, power, and restoration that we live every single day.

And while we’re grateful for the recognition, this is not a story about money.

This is a story about faith. About sacred obedience. About what happens when a love offering is finally returned to a people who’ve been holding the line with nothing but ancestral fire and divine conviction.

The truth is, our story cannot be reduced to a headline.

So, we’re telling it ourselves.
Raw. Real. Restorative.

This summer, we’re launching the SBV Blog, a living altar of testimony, sacred remembrance, and Black maternal restoration.

But until then… stay close.

We are walking through the fire of these times, genocides, collapse, grief and still, we remember we are the ones to rebirth and restore.

Not by headlines, but by holy rhythm.

Don’t just read about the fellowship.

Walk with us in faith.

Be part of the global return to what is sacred.

You can connect with us directly at (774) 503-4218 or email soraya@sbvsouthcoast.org.

There’s always a warm cup of tea and a healing soup waiting for us to sit together, share breath, and be in Kin-immUNITY.

🌺 The Journey of a Little Sister
A Sacred Path of Belonging, Becoming, and Being Held

There is a moment when a woman—carrying life within her—crosses a threshold.
Not just into motherhood, but into remembrance.
Into sacred vulnerability. Into possibility. Into her fullest self.

At Sacred Birthing Village, we call her our Little Sister—
not because she is small or less—but because she is entering
a sacred portal of becoming.
And as she does, we encircle her with the full web of the village.

To be a Little Sister is not to be served—it is to be seen.
It is to be honored in your wholeness.
To be accompanied with deep presence.
To be poured into with love that doesn’t measure worth in paperwork or appointments.

We don’t “match” SisterFriends to Little Sisters.
We gather around them.
We show up in layers. In rhythm. In care that shifts and breathes.
Meals. Massage. Prayer. Presence.
A ride to the doctor.
A ceremony under the stars.
A circle of hands after birth.
A voice on the phone when the tears won’t stop.
Laughter. Herbal steams. Healing touch.
Remembrance.

🌿

Little Sisters walk a reciprocity journey—
giving just as they receive.
Bringing their medicine.
Teaching us how to be with life.
How to listen.
How to pause.
How to protect the sacred.
Their birth is not just theirs—it is ours.
Their restoration is community restoration.
Their thriving is a mirror, a pulse, a prophecy.

And for every Little Sister who has trusted us with her becoming—
thank you.
You have made this sacred work what it is.
You have reminded us again and again why we return to the village.

🌀 If you are walking with new life,
🪶 if you are seeking sacred holding,
💫 if you are ready to be loved in the fullest expression of who you are becoming—
you are welcome here.

🌿✨ A Sacred Invitation to the Web of Care ✨🌿

To every SisterFriend who has walked with us,
who has offered her hands, her prayers, her presence—
thank you.

To every woman who became more than a companion—who became a keeper of memory, a witness to life, and a tender of soul—
we see you.
You have made Sacred Birthing Village what it is.
Your love is woven into the very bones of this sanctuary.

To every sister who has been our teacher—
thank you for being fully YOU.
It is your wisdom, your knowledge, your story that is interwoven into where we now are and what is.
The best is yet to come.

🌸

We are not a program.
We are not a service.
We are a return—to what was sacred, what was communal, what was ours.

And now we open the gates wide once more.
We are calling in more SisterFriends—
wise women, loving kin, sacred witnesses—
to hold, walk with, and uphold the birthing ones and the whole village.

This is not a role you take on.
This is a way of being.
A remembrance.
An initiation into collective care.
A sacred yes to being present and shifting with the realness right in front of us.

If you feel called to become a SisterFriend—
to nourish, to circle, to hold, to rise—
we welcome you.

🌀 Come into the rhythm.
🪶 Come into the ceremony.
đź’« Come into the web.

Because they are trying to take it all. But the narrative is already rewritten. It’s our turn. It’s us. A full reclamation of freedom. Liberation. It’s held in the threshold between life and death. Carried deeply in the wombs of the carriers and sustainer of life! Gather with us in this prayer. Freedom. Liberation. How do you embody and practice your liberation?

✊🏿This is more than policy. This is our prayer in motion.

The 2025 MA Budget is being shaped right now, and our sacred call is clear: fund Black-led maternal health work. Fund life. Fund healing.

At Sacred Birthing Village, we’re not asking for charity.
We’re demanding what is ours by right—resources to sustain the safety, brilliance, and sovereignty of birthing people.

Here’s how to join us in action:
1.Take 2 minutes to support the state budget recommendations that uplift Black maternal health and community-rooted care:
https://baystatebirth.org/act
https://neighborhoodbirthcenter.org/action
https://actionnetwork.org/letters/fund-the-moms-matter-act-support-senate-amendment-###x?source=direct_link&

2.Tag 3 people who walk with you in this sacred work—let’s move together.

3. Speak your why: Share why you believe SBV and our village sanctuary must be funded and protected.

This is how we build.
This is how we remember.
This is how we win.

✨Today, we honor mothers.✨
But not the polished version sold back to us in pink boxes.

We honor the sacred labor—seen and unseen.
The sacrifices. The ache. The joy. The becoming.

We see the ones who mother in spirit, in longing, in grief.
Those healing mother wounds.
Those navigating absence, estrangement, infertility, and pressure to perform love they never received.

Motherhood is not a product.
It is a practice.
A portal.
A power.

At Sacred Birthing Village, we don’t celebrate for a day and abandon mothers for the year.
We honor the whole journey.
The brokenness. The brilliance. The in-between.

Let us mother as God’s hands and feet.
Let us be free—
to mother without boxes, binaries, or blame.
To be vessels of life in every form.

To all life-bearers: You are sacred. You are enough. You are free.

🌿Our song is your beating heart.
