Come through to celebrate and uplift Black maternal health stories.

Join us for a powerful evening centering Black mothers, birthing people, and families as we come together for a community screening of The Ebony Canal—an NAACP Image Award–winning film narrated by Viola Davis.

This special gathering is an opportunity to celebrate our joy, resilience, and collective care while engaging in meaningful conversation about Black maternal health and community support.

What to Expect

• Film screening of The Ebony Canal

• Panel discussion + Q&A with the film’s director

• Community resource fair and local Black vendors

• Free wellness and prenatal bags for the first 30 expecting parents who check-in.

This event is both a celebration and a call to action—bringing our community together to uplift and support Black mothers, babies, and families.
