Birth with Irth:

A Mini-Manual to Pregnancy and Childbirth for Black People.

These two brothers right here!!!
@bizmacthe3rd @m_u_z
They always show up and show out for Irth and we are grateful!!
What a beauty to see their bond & their brotherhood featured in @aftershockdoc on @hulu
It is angering. It is triggering. (Please take care when viewing) But it is ultimately hopeful and a powerful demonstration of turning your tragedy into a testimony.

📣📣📣 Theme Announcement!!
This year marks 10 years of Black Breastfeeding Week and we’re just getting started.
For #BBW22, we’re celebrating the countless stories and families- past, present & future.
Together, we’ve shifted the narrative and optics, supported and uplifted each other…and it’s still just the beginning. The new foundation of lactation support is built on racial equity, cultural empowerment, and community engagement and is powered by our collective resilience.
Please share and help spread the word. We look forward to celebrating with you!
Tell us what part of the new foundation you’re working on & excited about!

Hellloo ATL!
Today was magical at the @marchofdimes #marchforbabies
Thank you to the amazing local doulas who came out to show Irth some love & help us get more reviews in the Atlanta area. Another city that needs more accountability & transparency in the treatment of Black women & birthing folks. Let’s get it ATL!!

3:00-3:20- Irth Presents Breastfeeding & Infant Feeding Q&A -- The formula shortage has hit our communities hard. Learn why while getting tips and resources for infant feeding and info on where to find support for breastfeeding, re-lactation, and more!

NEW ARTICLE ALERT! A look at how a lack of policy support, systemic racism, and race-targeted marketing have created an outsized dependency on the formula for Black families.

News reports around the current formula shortage underscore that Black families are being hit hardest. Learn how our past has shaped the current disparity and what we can do to change the narrative in the future.

Our “ Birth With Love, Joy & Irth” t shirts were featured in the swag bag at the @fund2foundation Maternal Health Convening in DC this week.

I am thrilled!
Last weekend at @solvemit, Irth was awarded an $100,000 grant from The Patrick McGovern Foundation and I took to the very same stage in the @mitmedialab as my very first win ever— at an MIT Hackathon.
This award really validates the hardest part of our work— getting health systems to pay attention to our community-centered data. With new resources & capabilities, we continue to use your reviews to push for community accountability and we continue to ensure that our lived experience matters!!
Grateful for the recognition & support!
We are back at work ✊🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Happy Mother’s Day to and from the Irth Team.

For those who may not know, my journey to making the Irth app a reality began @mitmedialab and the @bfinnovation hackathon in 2018.
I came to speak about #breastfeeding but also with my son who, at 13, had created the first wireframes for Irth and we pitched, gathered a team & created the first prototype for Irth.
Wednesday, I came back to campus as part of @solvemit, where we won in the Anti-Racist Technology challenge. And my feeling of pride in all we have accomplished cannot be put into words.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and mission to turn our stories into a force for change!!
Whatever you are building, believe in yourself!!

This Mother’s Day weekend Birthright Podcast is celebrating all the journeys to motherhood, including becoming a single mother by choice— which has its own nuances as Black people giving birth.
Join Leslie and @iamksealsallers today to hear her journey of finding a Black male sperm donor, ultimately using natural insemination & choosing motherhood on her own terms on IG Live.
You don’t want to miss this!!!

BREAKING NEWS!!!
Landmark Maternal Health Civil Rights Lawsuit was filed in LA today!
Charles Johnson, widower of Kira Johnson who died after a routine c-section at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, has filed an unprecedented maternal health Civil Rights lawsuit against the medical center.
The family is set to go to trial in a separate suit against Cedars-Sinai on May 11th and throughout the discovery process they uncovered heartbreaking information about how horribly Cedars-Sinai failed Kira. They hope this new lawsuit will send shockwaves across the country putting medical institutions on notice about the consequences of enabling cultures of racism that prey upon Black families.
