Held annually on April 11-17th, BMHW is a week-long campaign founded and led by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance to build awareness, activism, and community-building to amplify the voices, perspectives and lived experiences of Black Mamas and birthing people.

A Champion for Collaboration is an individual or organization committed to advancing Black maternal health by working in partnership with others—not in silos.

​

Champions help create real impact by sharing resources, amplifying community events, supporting equity-driven solutions, and building strong relationships across communities, birth workers, healthcare systems, and local leaders to improve outcomes for Black moms and families.
