BLKBRY

BLKBRY was established by reproductive justice advocate and community birth worker Jazmin Birt to transform Black maternal and infant health outcomes across the Pacific Northwest. Operating as a Black-led perinatal collective, BLKBRY surrounds birthing people with continuous physical, emotional, and advocacy support throughout pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum transition.

Anchored in Seattle’s Central District and South End, BLKBRY champions the core principles of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.’s international program “Building Our Economic Wealth” by creating sustainable career pathways for Black doulas while safeguarding birthing families. The organization welcomes local Sorors and healthcare coalitions with specialized Sisterhood Advantage postpartum resources.

Providing comprehensive birth doula services, clinical IBCLC lactation counseling, community baby pantries, and ancestral postpartum meal preparation, BLKBRY is a vital community cornerstone during June Black Dollar Days. Prospective parents and supporters can request doula services or contribute to community birth funds online.
