Black Maternal Health Week is a time to tell the truth.

Black motherhood is more than a single moment.
It is a journey — and too often, parts of that journey go unseen, unsupported, and carried alone.

Before birth, many Black women experience:
• fertility challenges
• infertility
• IVF and treatment decisions
• pregnancy loss
• navigating systems that don’t always see or support them

And here in St. Louis, Black infants are 3x more likely to die than white infants.

This is why this week matters.
And it’s why this month matters.

This April, we’re lifting up the full story through our GiveGHDay campaign:
What We Carry: Because Birth Is Not the Beginning.

Because the journey doesn’t start at birth.
And support shouldn’t either.

This isn’t just about awareness.
It’s about recognizing the full journey, and building systems that support Black mothers and babies every step of the way.

If this resonates with you, here’s one simple way to take action:

Because no one should have to carry this journey alone.

LOVE & LEGACY UPDATE: We’re at 47% 💛

We’re almost halfway there!

This isn’t just a number.
It’s education and advocacy.
It’s parents who feel held instead of alone.
It’s care that shows up on-time and with dignity.
It’s a community saying: we don’t leave families behind.

Right now, we’re 47% to our Love & Legacy Campaign goal with 1 week + 4 days left.

Momentum matters in the final stretch.

Love looks like showing up...before the crisis, not just during it.

This week is our WEEK OF LOVE for Love & Legacy, and we're starting with this:
When we talk about maternal and infant health, we’re talking about people...not statistics.

Love is:
💛 a provider who listens the first time
💛 a community that doesn’t let a mom carry everything alone
💛 culturally responsive care that protects dignity
💛 support that continues after the baby is born
💛 systems built to hold families, not test their limits

At Generate Health STL, we believe love is a legacy we can build on purpose...through action, investment, and community voice.

💛 If you’ve ever been supported through pregnancy, postpartum, or parenting—drop a word below that describes what helped most (or what you wish you had).

Your story matters. Your perspective matters. Let's make space for both.

Love isn’t just something we feel.
It’s something we protect.

This month, as we launch our Love & Legacy campaign, we’re also lifting up an important conversation on maternal health, advocacy, and the systems that shape outcomes for Black mothers.

🎧 In this episode of St. Louis on the Air, local birthing advocates — including Generate Health’s COO, Lora Gulley — and medical professionals speak honestly about protecting Black maternal health and the role shared responsibility plays in care.

Love & Legacy is our invitation to turn these values into action, through shared responsibility, community investment, and care that lasts beyond February.

Love is a legacy.

And legacy is built through care, protection, and shared responsibility.

This February, we’re launching Love & Legacy, a values-centered campaign honoring Black love by supporting Black maternal and infant health.

Because Black mothers deserve more than awareness.

They deserve safety, dignity, and systems that show up.

If this resonates, we invite you to participate by giving what you can, or sharing what you believe.

Join us in providing safe sleep solutions, essential resources, and advocating for racial equity. Together, we can strengthen community systems and uplift voices.
