Blaq Birth Circle

Doulas, this one is for you.

Birth balls are more than just something to bounce on during labor. We’re getting into how and when to use yoga balls, peanut balls, tennis balls, pressure tools, and positioning techniques to support comfort, movement, baby positioning, and labor progression.

This will be hands on, practical, and rooted in real labor support. Come learn, practice, and leave with tools you can actually use in birth spaces.

What is in your personal care products may be impacting your health more than you know, and Black and Brown communities are bearing a disproportionate burden.

Some of the most important work happening in communities doesn’t always make headlines.

It happens in listening sessions.
In safe conversations.
In checking on someone after a hard day.
In making people feel seen, heard, and supported.

At The Empowerment Foundation, we believe real change starts with community--with people who care enough to show up, speak up, and create space for one another.

Progress may not always happen overnight, but every conversation, every connection, and every act of care matters. 🖤

Keep showing up for your community. Someone may need it more than you realize.

Our babies deserve better. Our mothers deserve support. Our community deserves solutions. ✊🏾🖤

Join us for an important conversation at the “Hamilton County’s Infant Mortality Crisis: A Roundtable Discussion” as community leaders, advocates, healthcare professionals, and residents come together to address the realities behind infant mortality in our community — especially the disproportionate impact on Black families.

This is more than a discussion. It’s a call to action for awareness, advocacy, healing, and change. Together, we can create solutions that protect and uplift our mothers, babies, and future generations.
