  • Tiny Toes, Big Planet A program that aims to create sustainable postpartum families in marginalized communities in Louisville, KY. At Black Birth Justice,, we envision a community where every Black and Brown family receives the support and resources they need to thrive during the postpartum period and beyond. Led by Black women, we are dedicated to fostering transformative support systems that uplift and empower families through every stage of their journey. The 30 families that attended these events gained a wealth of knowledge and went home with tools to make environmentally conscious choices. These resources simultaneously help alleviate the financial hardships of new parenthood.
  • Postpartum Doula Training Our postpartum doula trainings are free and allow women to gain ancestral knowledge of traditional birth keepers. Postpartum doula trainings occur when we receive funding to do so. Creating access to trainings for black women is so important to us. At this time we do not have out of pocket trainings, but will revisit the idea in the future. Please follow us on social media for trainings. Some photos are of full spectrum trainings that we lead with our sister organization Mama 2 Mama. ALL PROGRAMMING COSTS
