Welcome to the Birth Stories page, where real African American women share their birth stories. These stories highlight the positive, and sometimes negative, interactions with the medical care system. As a collective, we strive to provide insight on how African American women would like to be treated while interacting with the medical care system. Join us in our mission to help improve the medical system and end the disproportionate death of birthing mothers and their babies.

Take the time to listen and learn from real stories from African American women. We invite you to read and share these stories to spread awareness about our mission to end the death of birthing mothers and their babies. Each story is unique, providing insight into how African American women interact with the medical care system. We believe that these stories can help to create a system of care that is based on respect and understanding.
