The IMPERATIVE of Equitable, Accessible Childbirth Education

We welcome you to learn more about the role you play in bridging the gap from our current perinatal care system rife with racism-driven disparities to an equitable one that centers the experiences of Black and Brown families. We envision a future where Black birthing people and their pregnancies find joy and safety in our healthcare system.

Our goal here at Your BIRTH Partners is to prompt those involved in birthcare to examine their practice and understand where they need to grow awareness and where they need to take action.

YBP’s Childbirth Imperative was created to increase access for Black and Brown families to quality childbirth education that prepares them for the realities of today’s birthcare system.

We believe each of us has a critical role in affirming the rights of birthing people as they work to increase their knowledge & self-advocacy in community.

Why is this IMPERATIVE?
