WHO WE ARE

Rooted Birthwork Collective supports Black birthing people and families to have empowering, supported birth and early parenting experiences. We provide education, advocacy, and culturally grounded care so families feel informed, respected, and supported as they navigate pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Our work is rooted in culture and community, supporting resilient families and healthier outcomes.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to support Black families throughout their reproductive journeys by providing culturally relevant care, education, and advocacy. Guided by the principles of reproductive justice, we center empowerment, choice, and holistic well-being while working to reduce barriers to care and improve access to meaningful support.

OUR VISION

We envision a future where Black families feel confident, heard, and supported in all reproductive and parenting spaces. We strive for a world where care is grounded in dignity and respect, and where healthcare and community systems are equipped to provide support through an anti-racist and anti-oppressive lens. This leads to healthier families and stronger communities.

OUR VALUES

Rooted Birthwork Collective

The Rooted Birthwork Collective, formerly known as the Rooted & Resilient Doula Program, was founded in 2019 by Jessica Johnson in partnership with Black Ottawa Connect.
