Carol’s Daughter and Mama Glow Foundation Announce Year 2 of The “Love Delivered’ Initiative
Coinciding with Black Maternal Health Week (April 11-17), the announcement reinforces the Love Delivered commitment to advocate alongside Black birthing people and babies when they are most vulnerable – before, during and after birth. Pregnant or recently postpartum birthing people located in the following cities: NYC (Metro-Area), Miami, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C. can apply to receive complimentary Doula services here.
"Too many times Black birthing people are not heard during such a crucial moment in their lives. If something isn't right, having an advocate or a doula can be lifesaving," explained Lisa Price. "My hope is that Black birthing people are heard and supported and that most of all, our lives are saved."
"As we celebrate Black Maternal Health Week, we center joy in the Black birthing experience," said Mama Glow founder and CEO, Latham Thomas. "We celebrate the triumphs, our collective solutions, and our self-determination. Birth is meant to be transcendent, and we all deserve to experience empowerment through birth. The doula grants made possible through the three-year $225,000 commitment from Carol's Daughter, further the mission to support safe, healthy and joyful birth outcomes for Black families in need."
According to the CDC, Black women unfortunately die of pregnancy-related causes at a rate 3x higher than those of white women with 60% of those deaths being preventable. Sadly, Black newborn babies are 3x more likely than White babies to die when looked after by White doctors. These disparities were in part why Love Delivered was established; to empower, support and show love to Black birthing people and babies when they need it most.
Additional programming includes:
Access to online resources and maternity experts for expectant and new families
Community building events and forums for expectant and new families and their allies for sharing joyful, inspiring, birthing experiences
Love Delivered self-care deliveries

About Carol's Daughter In 1993, encouraged by my mother, Carol, I began creating high-quality products made with love in my Brooklyn kitchen. As family and friends experienced how these products transformed their hair and skin, I knew that I was onto something good. I needed a name for my company, so I made a list of everything I was and everything I wanted to be, and I realized that the most special thing that I am is Lisa, Carol's Daughter. -Lisa Price, Carol's Daughter Founder
