Foundations of Black Maternal Health Practice: Reconnecting Environment, Culture, and Care

On Friday, November 7th at 3PM EST, Angela D. Aina’s session will establish a foundational understanding of Black Maternal Health Practice as a distinctive branch of maternal and child health work. This practice recognizes how people of African descent have long understood childbearing, maternity care, and reproductive health as inseparable from our connection to the land, water, air, food, and the natural and spiritual world—our ecosystem. Join us as we kick off BMMA’s 2025 Fall Perinatal Learning Series and ground together in holistic, justice-centered care. 

This session does not include a technical assistance session.

Objectives:

• Describe Black Maternal Health Practice as a distinctive approach that integrates multiple conceptual frameworks with cultural practices and ecological knowledge. 

• Explain how environmental racism and structural oppression are interconnected with maternal and infant health disparities, and why solutions must simultaneously address both environmental conditions and honor traditional healing practices. 

• Recognize how the topics throughout this Fall 2025 Perinatal Learning Series, such as reproductive toxins, climate and mental health, practitioner preparedness, and personal care products, are essential competencies in Black Maternal Health.
