Complete support for Black fertility, Black pregnancy, Black birthing, Black parenting and everything in between.
Our Mission
Kindred 360’s mission is to develop, create and promote policies and procedures that overcome historic racism and bring about the end of the Black maternal and child health crisis, while also offering culturally relevant and informed supportive services that provide a complete circle of care enabling Black families to thrive.
Kindred 360 was created as a response to the worsening Black maternal and child health crisis. Here are the facts…
In 2021, the maternal mortality rate for non-Hispanic Black (subsequently, Black) women was 69.9 deaths per 100,000 live births, 2.6 times the rate for non-Hispanic White (subsequently, White) women. Rates for Black women were significantly higher than rates for White and Hispanic women. — Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Black newborns are more than twice as likely to die in their first year as White newborns. — Kaiser Family Foundation
The babies born to the richest Black women…tend to have more risk factors, including being born premature or underweight, than those born to…the poorest white mothers. It’s evidence that the harm to Black mothers and their babies, regardless of socioeconomic status, begins before childbirth. — The New York Times
