Today (and everyday), we honor the incredible Black mothers who anchor our world. We are celebrating you in every capacity—from our Mommies and Gramms’ to our Aunties and Iyaloshas. Your love and leadership are the heartbeat of our community.

We recognize that this day can hold many emotions. We take this time to honor those who are grieving their mothers, whether through their passing, through a harm filled relationship, or through their absence.

We also wrap our arms around our new moms navigating this journey for the first time.

The Black matriarchal society is vital to our collective advancement. It is through the strength, wisdom, and care of Black women that we sustain Black Health and find our deepest Joy. Thank you for being the foundation upon which we rise.

Happy Mother’s Day to all.

As we sit in quiet observance at the end of Black History Month, Black Women’s Health Collective looks to the meaning of celebrating our collective and individual Black Futures.

For us, this also signifies the importance of the lives and wellbeing of Black girls.

We honor the paths that we walk that are offerings of legacy keeping for Black girls yet to be born and Black girls living and breathing right now.

We love the Black girls that grew up, the Black girls who are now ancestors, and those who are honoring their Black girlhood by doing inner child work. We see and are grateful to all those Black girls who grew up feeling like they don’t belong in their bodies. Keep living your truth.

In this through line of Black girlhood we recognize that music is an expression of love, intention, and sound.

Black girls thrive surrounded by music. Living, loving and learning.

Check in on what music the young girl’s in your lives are listening to, practicing, and attuned to.

And if YOU haven’t already…consider discovering what magic you can create with a new instrument or one you need to pick up again.

The music on this post comes from child prodigy and cultural ancestor, Hazel Scott.

Hazel Dorothy Scott was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad on June 11, 1920. She was the only child of R. Thomas Scott, a West African scholar from England, and Alma Long Scott, a classically trained pianist and saxophonist. Scott displayed her talents for music at an early age and, by the age of three, Scott could play the piano by ear. When her mother’s music students would hit a wrong note, Scott would yelp with displeasure.
