Improving Black women’s health from womb to wisdom through culturally relevant education, prevention, wellness programming, community outreach, and supportive resources
Our Purpose
Big Mama Haven is a nonprofit that exists to create spaces where Black women feel seen, supported, and equipped to care for their health throughout every stage of life. Through culturally relevant education, prevention, wellness programming, community outreach, and practical resources, we support the whole woman, mind, body, and spirit, from womb to wisdom.
Our Health Focus
Big Mama Haven takes a whole-woman approach to health and wellness, with initial priorities that include cardiovascular health, maternal and reproductive wellness, mental and emotional well-being, nutrition, movement, and healthy aging.Cardiovascular health remains one of our first major areas of focus because Black women experience disproportionately high rates of high blood pressure, stroke, and other heart-related conditions.That is exactly why Big Mama Haven is starting there—but not stopping there.Through our six wellness pillars, we address the interconnected factors that shape women’s health across the lifespan. We believe that when Black women have culturally relevant information, practical resources, supportive communities, and opportunities to care for every part of themselves, they are better equipped to make informed choices, advocate for their health, and build healthier lives for themselves, their families, and their communities.
