Here’s something I know to be true: women navigating TTC, pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood in America need to be swaddled in more reliable care—not scrambling for answers, or crowd-sourcing their most tender questions (and sorting through trauma and under-informed responses) from the wild, wild internet.
Mother of Ease Community exists as a peaceful place for Black women to belong in these seasons—to ask real questions, think out loud, speak their narratives in safety, learn from experience and evidence, and access live support—from whom they need and desire it from (including care experts); with empathy for the intricacies of their journeys. Black women need other Black women in the intricacies of their journeys. Black women need Black women, period.
Some women join because they need this care for themselves right now. Others support belonging because they believe in what this community offers, and want to help extend this kind of care further. Both are vital.
If you are in a season where you would benefit from steady, educated, kind, thoughtful community—I invite you to join us. And if you are in a position to help ensure that more Black women are held in culturally-resonant care during this life-shaping continuum, I invite you to sponsor, as a tangible way to do just so.
However you invest—by joining, by sponsoring, or by an invitation forwarded—you are helping care grow in this beautiful, beloved, Black community.
