Black Maternal Health Week and National Infertility Awareness Week are next month. As we prepare to spread awareness on birthing justice and family building I encourage you to consider why representation matters in family building.

RP• 📌
“Children are not born with stigma.
📌They are taught it or protected from it.
🔸When we normalize different paths to parenthood early, we raise a generation that doesn’t whisper about IVF, adoption, surrogacy, or donor conception.
🔸A generation that understands that being childless …even not by choice ; is not something to shame or question.
⚡️Representation isn’t about trends.
⚡️It’s about dignity.
📌It’s about making space for every story …including the ones that look different from what we’re used to.
📌Every child deserves to grow up seeing their story reflected without secrecy, without apology, and without shame 💜”

Hello,
I’m looking for information on any Infertility mental health conferences and Black Perinatal Mental Health conferences happening this year.
I’m already registered for the Jones conference, I’m knowledgeable about PSI.

I’m also looking for information on any National Infertility Awareness Week events in DC or MD. I’d love to attend and/ or support.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance!

(Takes big breath) 💚💕

Black women experience infertility at nearly twice the rate of white women—yet only 4–7% of Black women utilize IUI/IVF, compared to over 80% of white women.
Despite having a greater need, Black women are significantly less likely to seek or receive fertility treatment due to systemic barriers such as cultural stigma, limited access, provider bias, lack of culturally responsive care, and higher rates of conditions like uterine fibroids and PCOS.

In response to this gap, I created a confidential, private Facebook community exclusively for my sorority sisters 💚💕 who may be struggling with infertility or navigating family-building through IUI, IVF, egg freezing, donor eggs, or surrogacy.

This space is designed to offer:
• Support grounded in shared lived experience
• Guidance on accessing treatment and affordable medications
• Emotional and peer-based community
• Trigger-aware and privacy-protective engagement

If this resonates with you or someone you love, feel free to DM me for details.
Membership in the sorority is verified to protect the safety and confidentiality of the group. 🩷💚💕

You are not alone—and you deserve support that understands you. Reproductive mental health trauma impacts Black people and you or someone you love doesn’t have to be alone.

New year.
New education.
New skills.
New opportunities.
New life changes.
New life boundaries.
More growth. ✨

Quality care requires systems that actually support it. Growth sometimes means choosing what supports the work—and letting go of what doesn’t.

And we’re also talking to the
“Just relax”
“Have you tried…”
“Do you think you’re too old to be a parent”
“I know it’s so hard it took me 6 months…”
“Oh you can have my kids if you want”
“Have you thought about adopting?”
“Just do IVF”
“I know someone who…”
