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.
What You’ll Experience
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
Practical tools for stress relief, self-care, and confidence
Inside Each Circle
Each session includes a guided discussion with real-life tools and open reflection. Topics include:
✔ Emotional well-being, resilience, and grounding practices
✔ Self-care tools to support your mind and body during pregnancy
✔ Preparing for childbirth with confidence

✔ Addressing cultural and societal expectations of Black motherhood
✔ Building your circle of support before baby arrives
