Take a peek at the vision boards that were submitted last year during #BBW2020
BB365 is committed to supporting Black initiatives and Black businesses.
You can join us in support by donating to the Perinatal Health Equity Foundation.
Perinatal Health Equity Foundation was birthed to address the numerous disparities and health inequities among women and infants of color, specifically among Black women.
They envision a societal shift embracing health equity and cultural humility; Where Black women have the tools, resources, and support needed to reach their goals and have healthy outcomes for both themselves and their infants; where health disparities for Black mothers and infants no longer exists.
The Perinatal Health Equity Foundation is dedicated to changing the narrative on Black infant and maternal health.
You too can be a part of changing the narrative!

Through this private practice she discovered there were many women of color who were seeking support, but could not pay for services for a variety of different reasons. To fill the gap she started the Perinatal Health Equity Foundation and has dedicated her time and energy to changing the narrative on Black infant and maternal health.
