Our Why 

Maternal deaths and breastfeeding disparities among Black women are public health crises. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Black women are 3-4 times more likely to die from pregnancy related causes than White women and the majority of these deaths are preventable. Although breastfeeding rates among Black women have increased significantly over the last decade, breastfeeding initiation and duration rates among Black mothers fall short of meeting national and international breastfeeding recommendations. 

We believe that Black women across the spectrum of health professions and birth work have the knowledge and expertise, skills, and insider perspectives to combat these disparities. Black woman owned and led, bEarth Work is a sister company of Black Girls' Breastfeeding Club, LLC. It was created by a mother, a public health scientist, and maternal and child health advocate. Our vision is a digital space where Black mothers and birthing people can receive high quality education and support from birthworkers and health professionals to prepare for pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding and beyond.
