Marie Boone-Clark is the visionary cofounder and Executive Director of Birthing the Magic Collaborative (BTM), a deeply respected strategic consultant, and a certified parental leave coach. With decades of experience collaborating with hospital systems, professional associations, clinicians, and nonprofit leaders, she brings a rare blend of strategic insight and deep community connection to her work.

For Marie, this mission is personal. As a mom to Grace and a bonus mom to Kimberly, she has always approached parenthood with dedication. But it was her role as Nana to two sets of twins and a beloved grandson that sparked a new clarity. When her own daughter faced a high-risk pregnancy, Marie knew first-hand what was at stake.

Drawing on her background and trusted relationships, she assembled a care team that provided respectful, culturally aligned support for her family. That season crystallized what becomes possible when Black families are met with care instead of barriers, and what is tragically lost when they are not.

Through BTM, Marie works tirelessly to ensure Black birthing people have access to the same timely knowledge, practical tools, and advocacy support her family was fortunate to receive. Her work is rooted in a simple, non-negotiable belief: Black motherhood is a birthright, not a battle.

Beyond BTM, Marie consults with small businesses and nonprofit leaders, supporting strategic growth, organizational development, and 501(c)(3) formation.
