💔 Intimate Partner Violence in Pregnancy 💔

Intimate partner violence is far more common than most realize and it often escalates during pregnancy.

Hidden behind closed doors, it is one of the leading causes of death for pregnant and postpartum women.

That’s why this conversation matters. By naming it, learning the warning signs, and understanding how to safely support, we can help protect women and save lives.

This is for the whole community — doulas, nurses, midwives, mental health professionals, family, and friends. Every one of us has a role in spotting the signs and responding with care.

✨ This Collab Matters ✨

This isn’t just a T-shirt. It’s a stand. A statement. A lifeline.

🖤 Black motherhood is a birthright — not a battle.
And yet, Black women are still:
⚠️ 3 to 4 times more likely to die during pregnancy or childbirth
⚠️ Ignored, dismissed, and left to suffer — even with advanced degrees
⚠️ Just 13% of the population, but nearly 50% of maternal deaths

That’s why Birthing the Magic Collaborative partnered with Stoop & Stank — because fashion can be a force for justice.

Every shirt sold helps fund free, culturally grounded perinatal education for Black birthing people.
Every shirt reminds the world: We deserve safe, joyful births — and we won’t stop until we get them.
