I still remember the feeling of helplessness and bewilderment that overcame me in a sterile hospital room after having my first child. After eighteen hours of grueling labor - where I watched and felt my body do things I never imagined it could, my husband and I were wheeled into a room with a crying newborn close to 1 am in morning and left there alone. We looked at it each other with pure, overwhelmed confusion and uncertainty. The shock and bewilderment of that moment would remain with us as we stumbled through three pregnancies, a miscarriage, postpartum depression, and several physical ailments from pregnancy. It was the support of our family and experts we found along the way (with much trial and error), that eventually led to this family thriving.

Black Hummingbird is for every parent like me - who has struggled with the physical, emotional, and mental repercussions of pregnancy and needs support. We want Black Hummingbird to be your home away from home - with experts that feel like family ready to help you through your unique situation. When I envisioned this space, I thought of my mom, my aunties, uncles, cousins, and friends who wrapped us in love and helped us through our toughest moments. That village continues to help raise my children. Black Hummingbird aims to be that village for you and your family - guided by the traditions and principles of my heritage and upbringing. We hope you’ll join us.
