A footfall of 200 Black & Ethnic Minority Mothers
Our most popular event, Black Mum Fest, provides a physical platform for hundreds of black mothers to connect with one an another, to share, talk, listen, learn and celebrate black motherhood in it's totality.
Imagine a footfall of 200 Black and ethnic minority mothers and pregnant people, sharing, listening, engaging and connecting, authentically in one building.

Common themes exploring
Community
A community of black mums in what we would call our safe space. Free from judgement, feeling stereotyped, without the need to mask or police our tone.
Wellbeing
Black Mum Fest promotes positive wellbeing within black mothers. Discussing mental health in a way that we understand, can relate to whilst understanding the cultural nuances that come with being a black mum.
Resources
Signposting, offering guidance and advice panel discussions, raising awareness of campaigns and resources that black mothers can turn to after Black Mum Fest.
Peer Support
The epitome of black mums supporting black mums, culturally appropriate conversations, honest dialogue and trust around relatable topics. Celebrating the similarities and differences whilst building new friendships.
