About

The Delta is designed to build a better world for mothers and their allies.

Together, we believe we can build a more open, enlightened, and empowered family culture that encourages more people to be intentional about health, ambition, and societal good.

What We Care About

We offer support, accountability, and sessions on ways to take better care of yourself, including weekly classes with Prema Yoga.

Who We Are

Who We Are

I started my career as a teacher in the Mississippi Delta ("The Delta"), which propelled me to work in education and try to close the gap that exists because of race and class in our country. Then, as a mom, I saw that the same gap is true with maternal healthcare, which is at a crisis point in our country -- one that disproportionately impacts black mothers. It is time to build our own spaces, listen to our own intuition, and ask for what we need and want. This is motherhood.

Take care.
