ARTIFACT + HEIRLOOMS | MIDWIFERY + THE BLACK BIRTHING FAMILY

On this Mother’s Day, we honor the mothers, grandmothers, midwives, doulas, aunties, healers + birthing families whose lives + stories live within Midwifery + The Black Birthing Family.

These visual archives, through film, photography, oral histories, perinatal artifacts, heirlooms + testimony, are more than documentation. They are living evidence of Black birth, Black care, Black memory + Black survival.

Created alongside our Birthlooms Storytellers, this work traces the sacred + complicated landscapes of mothering across generations. It holds the postpartum tears + kitchen table laughter, the prayer closets + hospital rooms, the grief, the tenderness, the ancestral memory + the people who mother us back to ourselves.

Every portrait is an act of reclamation.
Every testimony is an offering.
Every artifact carried into this archive reminds us: we were always here.

As we celebrate Mother’s Day, we lift up the beauty, labor, brilliance + truth of Black birthing families + the perinatal practitioners who continue to hold entire communities through care.

May these stories remind us that mothering is not only biological, it is communal, ancestral, embodied + deeply political.

If you are witnessing this work, you are now part of the circle.

May you view slowly.
May you remember your own lineage of care.
May you ask yourself gently:

What story do I live to tell?
