Legacy & Linage
Honoring where we come from. Protecting where we’re going.
The Black Birth Collection is an annual celebration dedicated to uplifting Black and Brown families through education, connection, and community care. Hosted by Moo’d Lactation Partners, this event brings together birth workers, families, and advocates to honor the wisdom of our past and build a stronger, more equitable future.
This year’s theme, Legacy & Lineage, centers on the stories, traditions, and knowledge passed down through generations. Together, we’ll explore how honoring our roots helps shape the future of birth work and family wellness in our communities.
Community Blood Drive
As part of the Black Birth Collection, we’re hosting a community blood drive in partnership with The Love Cai Foundation and the American Red Cross.
Blood donations play a critical role in supporting hospitals and ensuring lifesaving care for mothers, babies, and families in our community. This blood drive is open to the public and runs alongside the event.
Blood Drive Details:
• 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Pre-registration is encouraged to help with planning and availability. Walk-ins will be accepted as space allows.
A Look Back at 2025
In 2025, we came together for the first-ever Black Birth Collection, a groundbreaking celebration of Black and Brown birth workers, advocates, and families across Milwaukee.
With over 100 registered guests, 26 vendors, and community partners like Children’s Hospital, the Wisconsin Doulas of Color Collective, and Mothers’ Milk Bank, the event created a powerful space for connection, education, and healing.
From yoga and clothing drives to powerful discussions on maternal health equity, 2025 reminded us what’s possible when we gather in community — to share stories, resources, and strength.
