Holistic Birth Collective promotes and advocates for access to midwife-led continuity of care models among unjustly served communities, to increase the racial diversity of Certified Professional Midwives in Illinois, and to raise awareness about obstetric racism. We believe midwives, when empowered to work in community-based settings, foster health and life in the Black community at large and are a solution to dismantling the structural and medical racism that has been killing Black mothers for more than a century. We know that Black women are not broken; the system is broken.
