In their own words: Moms talk about their Innovation Fund projects
Melanin Mama’s Winston-salem Comfort Boxes “I plan to use the funds to support Black and Brown mothers from the 27105 and 27101 zip codes after birth. In most situations, once the baby comes, the mother is often overlooked, and her self-care is neglected in an effort to put the baby first. I would like to put together “comfort boxes” for these mothers.” Speak Up, Speak Out “We plan on using the funds to help support the community within the 27105-zip code with postpartum depression support. In particular, we plan to start a postpartum/ depression support group to help mothers and fathers in the 27105 community. Having a child changes your life and support groups can be very helpful to your mental health.” Melanated Makeovers 4 Moms “Mini maternity photo shoots are a basic description of my project but it’s so much more than just that ! Giving joy to moms and documenting the moment a stress free time to their self boost in self esteem and overall confidence to tackle all things to come in preparation for baby.”
