Centering joy in the Black birthing experience means safety, respect, cultural connection, and community.
We deserve care that honors our voices, protects our bodies, and uplifts our lives.
Black birthing people deserve dignity, safety, and respect before, during, and after childbirth. 🖤
Black birthing joy is power. 🖤✨
— Dr. Lucinda Canty | Lucinda’s House

Lucinda's House was created to address Black maternal health with education, community, and research.

Please support this senior nursing student (future L&D nurse) who is doing research for her honors project. She wants to understand what helps patients advocate for themselves during childbirth.

Someone dropped off a donation for our holiday community baby shower at Lucinda’s house with a student that I am working with. She did not get their name. Could you let me know if it was you?

Thank you so much. I appreciate your support. I want to be able to send you a personal note.
