Black Midwives Making a Powerful Impact: Reclaiming Birth for Black Families in Maryland, DC & Virginia

 Black midwives are transforming maternal health—one birth at a time.

In Maryland, Washington, DC, and Virginia, Black families are turning to Black midwives for culturally-centered, empowering, and holistic birth experiences. With maternal mortality rates for Black women still alarmingly high—3 to 4 times higher than white women—many families are seeking alternatives to traditional hospital birth. And homebirth with a trusted Black midwife is becoming a life-changing solution.

Why More Black Families Are Choosing Homebirth

Homebirth with a licensed midwife offers a safer, more respectful, and personalized experience for low-risk pregnancies. Families benefit from:

• One-on-one, person-centered care

• Continuity of care with a trusted provider

• Freedom to birth in a familiar, peaceful space

• Reduced interventions and increased satisfaction

Black midwives understand the lived experiences, traditions, and health concerns of Black birthing people. That shared cultural connection is powerful—and it saves lives.

Fighting Disparities Through Relationship-Based Midwifery

The traditional medical model often leaves Black families feeling unheard, rushed, or dismissed. Black midwives are closing that gap by offering care that centers your voice, your choices, and your wellness—not just on the day of birth, but throughout your entire journey.
