Black mothers and families deserve systems that stay consistent, supportive, and present - not just when it’s easy, but all the way through.

What that looks like is real connection and care that doesn’t drop off when things get complex.

That’s the work happening through Black Mothers In Power and We Mean Business - bringing community partners together every month to stay aligned, share resources, and strengthen recovery and support for Black mothers, children, and families in Delaware.

Next Monthly Partner Meeting
THIS THURSDAY, June 18th (Zoom)
Featured Partner: Delmarva Wrestling Digest

If you work with or support Black mothers, families, and communities in Delaware, you’re invited to join every 3rd Thursday at 10AM!

Black mothers shouldn’t have to “tough it out” just to access basic care.

We’ve been expected to hold everything down - families, communities, entire systems - while being last in line for support. That’s not care. That’s neglect presented as normal.

Black Mothers In Power is shifting that reality with our Vitamin Angels Program, providing FREE prenatal vitamins for Black mothers in Delaware!

Support shouldn’t show up only when things get urgent. It should be there from the start.

When a loved one is pulled into the court system, the stress doesn't stop with them. It lands on mothers, caregivers, children, and entire families. The paperwork is confusing. The process is exhausting. And too many people are expected to navigate it without support.

Participatory Defense is where Black mothers and families in Delaware come to get informed, build strategy, and support one another. No judgment. No pretending. Just community power in action.

Because protecting Black families takes all of us.

Black mothers deserve real support.

Too many Black families are carrying the weight of rising costs, limited resources, and systems that continue to leave our communities behind. That is why BMIP is committed to making sure Black mothers in Delaware can access the essentials they need.

Need diapers, formula, wipes, baby food, baby clothes, or menstrual products?

This week is Black Babywearing Week, a time to honor a practice that Black mothers and families have carried forward for generations. Before babywearing became a trend, Black mothers, fathers, grandparents, and caregivers were keeping babies close while navigating work, community, resistance, and everyday life.

To celebrate Black Babywearing Week, Black Mothers In Power is excited to welcome Diamond Redden, founder of Black Babywearing Week, for a special educational session as part of our You Gon' Learn Summer Series!

🖤 Thursday, June 25, 2026
🖤 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
🖤 BMIP Center
2215B N. Washington St., Wilmington, DE (enter on Concord Ave.)

Together, we'll learn about:
• Safe babywearing positions
• Different carriers and how to use them
• Postpartum wellness and recovery
• The power of keeping our babies close

Come learn, ask questions, and try on carriers!

Black mothers and families have always created ways to care for each other, even when systems failed us. Babywearing is part of that legacy.

Black mothers in Delaware are being locked up because they cannot pay their way out.

Not because they are threats. Because they are priced out of freedom.

Cash bail is not safety. It is punishment. It pulls Black mothers away from their children, their jobs, their healing, and their everyday life over money set by a system that was never built for us.

Freedom should never come with a receipt.

We stand with Black Mamas Bail Fund, Wilmington Freedom Alliance, and A Woman’s Worth Project in the ongoing work to free Black mothers and reunite families in Delaware.

Black mothers and families in Wilmington deserve real access to food. Not later. Not “when things improve.” Now.

The BMIP Community Fridge exists because too many of our neighbors are being left to figure out meals on their own. We’re not waiting for systems that keep failing us. We’re taking care of each other, directly.

If you’ve got something to share, it goes a long way:
• canned goods, rice, pasta, cereal
• fresh fruits and vegetables
• bread, snacks, drinks
• baby food and everyday essentials

Drop-offs can be made at:
BMIP Center Community Fridge
2215B N. Washington St., Wilmington, DE (on Concord Ave.)

Thank you to everyone who’s been giving, stocking, and showing up!
