Expecting Together

Why This Space Matters

Pregnancy is a time of joy, change, and complexity. But for many Black women, it also comes with cultural expectations and real systemic barriers.
Expecting Together was created to change that — to hold space where you can show up exactly as you are and receive the support you deserve.

This isn’t therapy.
It’s not a class.

It’s a community — rooted in healing, honesty, and sisterhood.

Connection with other Black mothers preparing for birth

Real talk about the highs and lows of pregnancy

Weekly giveaways to bring joy to your journey
