Harambee
/huh-RAHM-bay/
Swahili verb

Founded in 2023, Mama’s Harambee is centered around the rallying cry and theme “to work together”. The journey through motherhood takes a village, especially during those first weeks postpartum.
Our weekly postpartum peer-support groups, are designed to create a safe space for Black moms to navigate the postpartum journey in community.
These sessions are facilitated by black mental health professionals who provide tools and teach skills for managing topics like:
Anxiety and depression
Baby blues
Reducing stress
Feelings of overwhelm
Education on signs & symptoms PMADs
Birth trauma
Parenting & Co-parenting
Our goal is to bridge the gap in maternal mental health services and improve the postpartum experience of black moms.
Mama’s Harambee
Mama’s Harambee was birthed out of a dream to see a thriving postpartum community for black mothers who could walk the road together. Come just as you are and bring your little one too!
