Through advocacy, research, and community connection, we’re transforming the Black birthing experience—boldly, unapologetically, and with love.
Justice & Joy for Black Birthing Families
Our Mission
Black Birth Equity NOW (BBEN) exists to advance Black maternal health in Arizona through culturally relevant perinatal support, workforce development, community-based participatory research, and by advocating for systemic change. We work to ensure Black mothers and birthing people receive the dignity, respect, and support they deserve throughout their reproductive journey.
Our Vision
A future where Black mothers and birthing people thrive in a just and equitable healthcare system—one that is free from disparities, grounded in love, and supported by a strong community.
