We named our organization in honor of our Grand/Granny midwives who paved the way for birth communities & professionals today.

Our Granny Midwives acted as both community healers and baby catchers to the communities not accepted by society. They were the lifeline for black and rural communities. As their profession was colonized their names were washed from history. Granny's Birth Initiative is named after those that cared for all. We will carry on the legacy while ensuring black and brown birthing people have a safe space as we fight the Black Infant & Maternal Health Crisis and the challenges or transitioning through the penal, child welfare, and transitional housing systems.
