Why Kindred Cradle
The U.S. vs The World

End the Racial Gap
In the United States of America, Black women face three times the maternal mortality risk as white women.
Preventable Deaths
Preventable Deaths
Two-thirds of women in the United States die up to one year after giving birth. Most pregnancy-related deaths are preventable.
Theories and Our Unique Approach
Here at Kindred Cradle our unique approach combines Reproductive Justice and Empowerment Theory to empower Black mothers in healthcare settings. Reproductive Justice emphasizes the right to maintain bodily autonomy, access necessary resources, and parent in safe, sustainable communities, centering the experiences and voices of marginalized groups. Empowerment Theory focuses on enhancing well-being, developing knowledge and skills, and engaging healthcare providers as collaborators. By integrating these frameworks, we prioritize the needs and voices of Black mothers, providing them with the tools and support they need to navigate and advocate within the healthcare system effectively.
