Our voices, on the agenda
This is how we began. Sandra spoke and screened our campaign film at DHSC’s National Maternity and Neonatal Taskforce and Expert Reference Groups event. Yvette Cooper MP shared her support for the week.

Parliamentary Breakfast
Black mothers’ voices. A national conversation. Chaired by Sandra Igwe MBE, with opening remarks from Abena Oppong-Asare MP. Black mothers and our Mums Advisory Board brought lived experience and calls for change into the room.

The Big Conversation
Listening is where it starts. Mothers, specialists and community voices came together on Mumbrite to talk about emotional recovery, trust, rights, support and identity beyond motherhood.

Walk & Talk
Fresh air. Shared stories. A little movement, honest conversations and time outdoors. Black mums and little ones came together for wellbeing, community and connection.

Watch. Learn. Reflect.
Keep the conversation going. Our Black Maternal Health Conference UK watch party gave us time to revisit the voices, experiences and ideas shared on stage.

Rest & reflection · Now, make space for you
We saw your support. Your posts, initiatives, reports and webinars. Every mum, speaker, partner, volunteer and supporter who showed up: thank you.
Take a little time this weekend to rest, reflect and reconnect. Let this be a stepping stone to a bigger conversation. And lasting change for Black maternal mental health.
Until next Black Maternal Mental Health Week. Our community and our work continue.
With love, The Motherhood Group
