Celebrating Five Years of Love Delivered for Black Families
Celebrating Five Years of Commitment to Black Maternal Health
Carol's Daughter proudly recognizes five impactful years of its Love Delivered initiative, dedicated to ensuring Black maternal health equity. This beloved beauty brand stands out by offering essential support and resources, particularly grants for free doula services to Black families. In addition to this support, Carol's Daughter also emphasizes the importance of maternal health education.
Expanding Access to Doula Services
To further support Black families during the critical pregnancy and postpartum phases, Love Delivered introduces a new wave of doula grants. Families in cities such as New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Atlanta, New Orleans, and Washington, D.C. are encouraged to apply for pro bono doula services, ensuring that they receive the assistance they need during one of the most significant times in their lives.
The Impact of Maternal Health Statistics
Despite improvements in overall maternal health metrics in the United States, Black women continue to face alarming rates of maternal mortality and morbidity. The disparities reveal that Black women are more than twice as likely to face severe complications during pregnancy and are tragically more likely than their white counterparts to die as a result of these complications.
Voices Behind Love Delivered
Lisa Price, the founder of Carol's Daughter, states, "In Love Delivered, we remain committed to Black maternal health equity. Our goal is to ensure every Black birthing person feels supported, heard, and valued." The Love Delivered initiative, in collaboration with the Mama Glow Foundation, has created pathways to enhance engagement through community events and educational opportunities, truly making an impact.
Community Engagement and Advocacy
Since its inception, Love Delivered has engaged nearly 500,000 individuals through various informative events and grants. Over 120 births have benefitted from funded doula support, and the initiative has reached a staggering audience through its digital advocacy efforts.
Highlighted Events for Black Maternal Health
In celebration of Black Maternal Health Week, a series of initiatives, including a special webinar titled "Bumping While Black: Navigating Perinatal Wellness & Advocacy," will take place. The event invites unparalleled discussions on maternal health challenges and strategies to overcome them, featuring prominent figures in health and wellness.
Collaborating for Change
Carol's Daughter has also joined efforts with NewYork-Presbyterian's Dalio Center for Health Justice. Following the success of initial pilot programs, the brand expanded its initiatives to meet the needs of obstetric and pediatric patients with curly and coily hair types, distributing over 30,000 hair care products to revolving members of the community.
Partnerships Making a Difference
As part of an ongoing partnership with CVS, Carol's Daughter is striving to bring heightened awareness to the Mama Glow Foundation's mission. This program is set to be showcased in over 2000 stores, further highlighting the importance of maternal health support for Black families.
