Black Maternal Health Week 2026 | Gather Birth Cooperative | Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota

Written By Gather Birth Cooperative | Doulas and Birth Photographers in Minnesota

Birth photography is powerful.

It brings visibility to things that matter. Lived experiences that need more attention, intention, understanding, and action to dismantle the systems that have been a source of longstanding racism and oppression. Black birthing people in the United States are 3.5x more likely to die from pregnancy and childbirth related complications than their white counterparts.  

Black joy,

Black birth,

Black maternal health,

Matters.

Thank you to these families that have chosen to share their joy with us and the rest of the birthing community in Minneapolis/St. Paul + beyond.
