We aim to foster a community for BIPOC mothers, to provide holistic prenatal and postpartum support, and to reduce Black maternal morbidity and mortality.
supporting you through all phases of motherhood
Embrace: A Motherhood Collective serves the Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) community in Metro Detroit. We create a safe community for BIPOC mothers to learn about their bodies, be informed about birth, birth safely, and receive postpartum care and support.
Our organization is founded by three dynamic moms/wives/doulas who value community, support natural healing practices, and who want to address the need for holistic support for birthing families. We work to build connections and resources throughout the Metro Detroit area to support BIPOC mothers and families.
