GBI is an established 501c3 that Advocates for breastfeeding & birth rights for women who are incarcerated, residing in shelters, women in transition, teens in the foster care system, with emphasis on Black & BIPOC Birthing People. https://linktr.ee/gbiky Our organization was named in honor of our Granny midwives who paved the way for birth communities & birth professionals today. Our Granny Midwives acted as both community healers and baby catchers to the communities not accepted by society. They were the life line for black and rural communities. As their profession was colonized we carry on the legacy while ensure BIPOC birthing people have a safe space as we fight the Black Infant & Maternal Health Crisis and the challenges or transitioning through the penal child welfare and transitional housing systems. Vision: to create an equitable and safe birthing society in which race socioeconomic status location or citizenship effects birth outcomes. Goal: Decrease maternal and infant health disparities among disenfranchised groups such as Black BIPOC incarcerated homelessness or orphaned. Provide community services that fill in the gaps and decrease barriers to equitable maternal and infant care by serving the whole family.
