shifting the narrative of

maternal mental health

resources

Black women face systemic barriers to mental health care, including economic inequalities, healthcare disparities, and the societal pressure to always appear strong. At Motherhood Redefined, we’re committed to shifting that narrative.

Through our interactive membership, transformative retreats, and culturally competent counseling services, we curate wellness spaces where all mothers can connect authentically, share their experiences, and embrace vulnerability without fear of judgment.

20%
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 so many mothers, I felt completely overwhelmed—juggling homeschooling, work, and my own well-being, all while trying to process the heartbreak and uncertainty around me.

I desperately needed a space to share my thoughts and feelings, but when I couldn’t find one that truly reflected my experiences; I decided to create it. Out of that personal need, Motherhood Redefined was born.

What started as a simple social media page has grown into a thriving community that’s changing the way moms show up for themselves and each other. It’s become a safe space where women regardless of their background can connect, let their guard down, and realize they’re not alone in their struggles.

So, whether you’re new here or have been rocking with us since day one, welcome! We’re redefining what it means to thrive as mothers, and we’re building something meaningful—together. The journey is just getting started.

With gratitude,
