Celebrating Black and Brown Excellence in Perinatal Health

A conference like no other…

Don’ take our word for it, here is what people had to say about it

“Very moving - reminder to remember the beauty of culture not just the stats of being black/brown in the UK”

~ 2021 Delegate

“Beautiful and emotional work by the artists. The workshops were amazing and very insightful”

~ 2021 Delegate

I loved the speed networking, for a somebody who is new to the birth world and to the country it was super helpful. And also a great opportunity to feel like I am a part of it. It was better then I expected for something that was online. I found Airmeet a great programme/platform and easy to figure out.

Several reports including MBRRACE has highlighted disproportionate levels in poor outcomes for black and brown mothers and babies.

Normally conferences discuss these outcomes and highlight the data with some discussion around this subject.

As the song goes, a little less conversation and a little more action please.

This conference is focused on improving knowledge, skills and cultural safety for all those who work within the perinatal health field. 

We have reached out to individuals, organisations and campaigners that are & have already been working to tackle these disparities. They are all making waves in respective fields and they are all ready to share how you can do so too. 

They have been working within their specialties and remits, pushing forward with action. Not only are we ready to work with & learn from them, we also want to also celebrate their work.

Abuela Doulas and Association of South Asian Midwives invite you to join us and celebrate the hard work of many Black and Brown individuals already working to address the inequalities we are seeing.
