shifting the narrative of

Black maternal mental health

resources

Black mothers face a heightened risk of mental health challenges but often feel pressured to stay silent to maintain the “strong Black woman” image. At Motherhood Redefined, we’re here to rewrite that narrative.

Through our interactive membership, transformative retreats, and counseling services, we provide safe, supportive spaces where moms can connect authentically, share their experiences, and embrace vulnerability without fear of judgment.

1 in 5 women experience Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs), which include symptoms of anxiety, stress, and depression during pregnancy or up to a year after birth.
2 - 3x
Black mothers are at a higher risk for PMADs. However, due to stigma, implicit bias, and societal pressure, they are less likely to seek treatment or receive quality mental health care.
100%
While 40 to 60% of Black moms will experience a mental health condition, all moms face mental health challenges that can impact their daily functioning.

A letter from our founder
I created the space I needed as a mom

I founded Motherhood Redefined in 2020, during the Covid-19 shutdown and the civil unrest following George Floyd’s tragic murder. Like many Black moms, I was overwhelmed—juggling homeschooling, my career, and my own well-being while trying to process the tragedy.

I needed a space to process my thoughts and share my feelings, but when I couldn’t find one that truly resonated with my experiences as a Black woman, I decided to create it myself. And out of that urgent need, Motherhood Redefined was born.

What started as a simple social media page for Black moms to connect has grown into a thriving community of over 50,000. For me, Motherhood Redefined is more than just a personal outlet—it’s a safe space where moms can connect authentically, share experiences, and access wellness resources.
