Nurtured & Nourished:

A Postpartum Healing Circle for Black Mamas

Because you don’t have to do postpartum alone.

Join a drop-in virtual circle created for Black moms in their first year after birth.
Connect, rest, reflect — your seat is waiting.

Each session is 45 minutes, meets every other Friday, and is offered at two times:

  • 12:00–12:45 pm PT (3:00–3:45 pm ET) led by Melissa Morgan

  • 6:00–6:45 pm PT (9:00–9:45 pm ET) led by Ebony Staten

Small groups of no more than 10 moms ensure an intimate, supportive environment.

*BONUS: At each session, one participant will be randomly selected to win a gift card (Instacart, Amazon, UberEats, and more)

WHY THIS SPACE MATTERS

Early motherhood is beautiful — and exhausting. Black mothers often carry invisible loads and unrealistic expectations. This space was created so you don’t have to carry it alone. Whether you're 6 weeks in or 6 months out, you're welcome here — baby in arms or not, camera on or off.

Because postpartum doesn’t come with a manual.
