Hi folks 👋🏾 Black Mothers Matter run a free community group called Bumps and Babies for those currently pregnant and Women and birthers with little ones who aren’t yet walking. Our sessions take place every Monday 10.30-12.30 at Stroud Road Community Hub, GL1 5JJ. Drop us a message if you’re interested 🖤🤎

As we come to the end of Black Maternal Health Week, our feeds have been filled with so many positive stories and it’s been so beautiful to see. Now it feels like the right time for us to share ours 🖤

This year’s theme is “leading with solutions, not trauma,” and this really resonates with us. At Black Mothers Matter, we always try to lead from a place of joy 🖤

Last weekend, we hosted our fourth wellness retreat for Black mums — creating space for connection, rest, and reflection. Alongside important conversations around Black maternal mental health, we held a range of activities focused on both mental and physical wellbeing.

Spaces like this matter.

And we already can’t wait to host the next one ✨ 🖤
