Our Impact
As young mothers, especially young mothers of color, we are often silenced, ignored and erased from current movements and previous history. By creating a social, public, and visible movement, we know that we would decrease those odds and create space for people like us to feel seen and heard. Together, we became a nationally-recognized social movement by and for young parents to eradicate the stigma that negatively impacts our access to quality healthcare, education, and community support.
