The Black Father Initiative
Fathers are not optional.
Yolanda saw Black fathers protect birth spaces, catch their babies, and call the doula when mama said she was fine but dad knew she was not. We equip every father to do the same.
What you will learn
- How to protect the birth space
- Exactly what to say when surgery is raised and there is no emergency
- How to be seen and heard when a hospital treats you as invisible
- The warning signs to watch for in the weeks after birthing
- How to feed and care for a recovering mother
- How to care for yourself, because the baby is not the only one adjusting
From our founder
Our founder, Armand Kadima, lost his wife Yolanda four days after she birthed her second set of twins, her sixth and seventh children. He now carries her story to fathers, hospitals, and lawmakers so that no other family has to.
