Black Maternal Health Week turns 10 in 2027, and we are going back to retrieve what is of value in order to move forward! The official Black Maternal Health Week 2027 theme is ‘Sankofa: Ancestral Wisdom, Present Solutions.’ Sankofa, the Akan principle of returning to retrieve what is of value, names what this movement has always done. Black maternal health began with the knowledge and traditional practices carried by Black and African midwives, birth workers, and mothers across the African diaspora. Much of that knowledge was systematically dismantled, and Black communities have been rebuilding, documenting, and advancing it ever since. The 10th anniversary of Black Maternal Health Week moves beyond awareness. For a decade, BMMA, Inc. (Black Mamas Matter Alliance) and our partner organizations have brought visibility to the conditions Black women, birthing people, families, and communities face. In 2027 we focus on the solutions already in practice, the people advancing them, and what it takes to resource and sustain them, across the diaspora! Black Maternal Health Week 2027 (#BMHW27) is coming April 11-17, 2027! Get ready!
