Ubuntu Birth Network
*formerly Motherland Community

Serving Since 2018

Ubuntu Birth Network is the social impact arm of MotherlandCo., LLC.

We are fiscally sponsored by BMore Empowered, a 501(c)3 dedicated to empowering women and girls of color through mindfulness and entrepreneurship.

​

We were a 2018-2019 recipient of the Baltimore Corps Elevation Award. We received a $10,000 seed grant to begin our efforts to assist families of color in Baltimore City with prenatal, postpartum, and fertility challenges, and mental health care.

​

We have shifted our initiative to provide a birth companion (doula), restorative perinatal yoga and lactation support to pregnant teens in Maryland's foster care system. Teens will be paired with a birth companion who will assist them with childbirth, lactation and support up to 4 weeks postpartum. They will also have access to restorative perinatal yoga classes to address and process trauma responses and hold space for their baby.

​

MotherlandCo. & Ubuntu Birth Network envisions a community where all families – regardless of age, race and economic status – have the right to birth equity: mind and body.
