At Mommy Lounge, we are committed to revolutionizing the birthing experience for Black individuals and their families.
WHY CHOOSE MOMMY LOUNGE
OUR MISSION
At Mommy Lounge, our mission is to empower and support Black birthing individuals throughout their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journeys. We strive to provide comprehensive birth information, promote mental health awareness, and foster a sense of community through engaging events and resources. By amplifying the voices and experiences of Black birthing individuals, we aim to create a future where every person feels heard, supported, and celebrated as they navigate the transformative experience of parenthood.
ABOUT US
Danette- Danette hosts a weekly event at Metro Caring called Baby Cafe. Participants are able to access Professional breastfeeding support services with MSU Certified Lactation Counselors. Groceries, diapers, wipes and baby clothing are provided to parents and families at no cost to the participants. Despite the group being available to all birthing individuals, we have found that the majority of people seeking services are Black and Brown women. The group grows larger every week. With a large proportion of the group consisting of Spanish-speaking individuals, the need for a group focused on the needs of Black Birthing individuals has become clear.
