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.

✔ Emotional well-being, resilience, and grounding practices

✔ Self-care tools to support your mind and body during pregnancy

✔ Preparing for childbirth with confidence
