We are the ones we’ve been waiting for—birthing new worlds, together.
This is not charity. This is not reform. This is restoration.
A healing uprising. A return to village.
When a baby is born, a portal opens. Through it, the mother, the father, the family, and the entire village are reborn.
This is not just birth—it is initiation. A sacred transformation. A crossing into a new way of being that demands reverence, time, and deep integration. Rooted in ancestral wisdom and led by the sacred knowing of Black and Indigenous birthing people, we reclaim birth as ceremony, restore the brilliance of our communities, and nourish a liberated future grounded in joy, sovereignty, and collective power.
She does not simply become a mother.
She remembers she is a vessel of creation, power, and ancestral continuation.
And she must be held, witnessed, and nourished as she becomes who she was always destined to be.
It takes a sovereign village to welcome this new life
Not just to witness birth—but to rise in sacred responsibility to protect it. We gather in aligned order, rooted in ancestral memory, to ensure every child arrives surrounded by love, power, and possibility.
So they may walk fully in their purpose.
So they may embody the fullness of their brilliance.
So they may claim their sacred birthright:
A life that is whole, vital, and unapologetically thriving.
Because liberation begins at conception and is initiated at birth—and the village must be ready.
WHO WE ARE
We are our ancestors’ wildest, most liberated prayers made flesh.
We are Sisters, Brothers, Elders, and Families—standing rooted in the legacy of those who dreamed, fought, and sacrificed so we could rise.
At the heart of our vision is the SBV Birth Sanctuary—Not just a place to give birth, but a return to sacred order. A sanctuary not in the colonial sense of shelter or escape, but in the liberated sense of sovereign space.
A place for healing. A place for ceremony.
A place where our people are seen, held, and honored in their full humanity.
Where birth is not medicalized, but spiritualized.
Where we remember: our bodies are not broken. Our births are not emergencies. Our power is not negotiable.
This is the revolution. This is the restoration. This is the village.
We trust in the brilliance of our people—because we are the knowledge-bearers, the wisdom-keepers, the lineage-holders.
We believe our community holds everything it needs to catch, to cradle, and to protect new life. We honor childbirth as a sacred rite of passage—not just for the birthing person, but for the whole village. A moment where new identities emerge, and ancestral power returns.
We reclaim birth as ceremony.
We reclaim care as collective responsibility.
We create spaces where our children don’t just survive—they thrive, rooted in love, power, and belonging.
This is not a hope. This is a knowing. Because the revolution is already within us.
Through intentional engagement and sacred practices woven from the wisdom of family, kinship, and community well-being, we are reawakening what colonial systems tried to erase: That it takes a village—not just to raise a child, but to nourish the entire family into wholeness.
We are here to remember the ancient rhythms.
To reclaim what was interrupted.
To revive the practices of collective care.
To restore the sacred ecology of family.
In our village, parenthood is not an isolated journey—it is a communal rite of passage. We do not witness mothers and birthing people in silence or from the sidelines. We see them, we hold them, and we elevate them—because they are walking through the most sacred and evolutionary transformation of their lives.
We uplift not only the mother or birthing person, but also the father, the co-parent, the family constellation that surrounds the child. Because a strong family, rooted in community, held in ancestral knowledge, and guided by love—can save themselves. And that is the true measure of liberation.
