Welcoming new life or navigating postpartum? Find space to pause, breathe, and reclaim yourself through community and rest.

Motherhood is one of life’s most sacred transformations. It can bring immeasurable joy, deep love, unexpected challenges, and profound change—all at the same time.

Yet too many Black mothers are expected to navigate this journey while carrying the weight of caregiving, work, family responsibilities, and the lingering effects of stress, isolation, and inequity.

Held is an African-centered sister circle created to remind Black women that we were never meant to mother alone.

Whether you are preparing to welcome new life, healing after birth, navigating the postpartum period, or simply longing to reconnect with yourself, this gathering offers space to pause, breathe, and be cared for. Together, we will explore how rest, joy, community, and collective care are not luxuries—they are essential to our health, our healing, and our ability to thrive.

Guided by Dr. Teah M. Johnson, this experience weaves together maternal mental wellness, holistic health, ancestral wisdom, reflection, and meaningful connection to support mothers in reclaiming/rememberingthemselves while embracing the beautiful journey of becoming.
