Nubian Moms |
|
Nubian Moms is a program under Healthy Black Pregnancies designed to provide social support, care navigation, and access to resources to Black women throughout their perinatal journeys (before, during, and after pregnancy). Nubian Moms program exists because Black women experience more stress-related complications related to obstetric racism and other social determinants of health during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Evidence shows that support through their journey helps. |
