This week, we're honoring Black Maternal Mental Health Week (July 19–25) by raising awareness of the ongoing mental health crisis impacting Black mothers and birthing people.

40% of Black women experience maternal mental health symptoms, nearly twice the rate of all women. Yet too many go without care or support.

We're proud to be attending the Black Maternal Mental Health Summit in Houston, where the 2025 theme is "Building an Accountable Village." We also want to take a step beyond awareness and focus on healing, building community, and creating long-term change.

We're showing up to learn, listen, and uplift the work of those fighting for a future where Black birth parents are seen, heard, and supported.

There is no bond quite like that between a Black mother and her daughter. It's a beautiful relationship—a mirror of the memories of the past and a shining light for our daughters to look to as they make their way through life. In this Mother's Day reflection, we honor what's passed down between generations: the stories, the scars, the strength, and the tenderness. From mother to daughter and back again, love and survival braid themselves into something sacred.

Lived experiences impact us on a biological level. The experiences our grandmothers and mothers lived shape us: their joy and their pain. As we learn more about how racism and misogynoir imprint themselves on our bodies, we also hold fast to this truth: healing can be passed on, too. When we choose to heal, we soften the road for those who follow.

This is our work, then: trying our hardest to shield our baby girls from the pain that we know too well already and preserving their joy as much as we can. This Mother's Day, we honor all that is carried, all that can be released, and all that can be recovered.

Happy Mother's Day, family! This Mother's Day, we're honoring the strength, love, and legacy of Black motherhood by asking the heart of our organization, the BLKBRY team, what does Black motherhood mean to you?

Black mothers, we see you. You are loved. You are appreciated. Soak up the love today, mama—you deserve it!
