EmpowerMOM is an uplifting community event for mothers. We aim to prepare and equip mothers for childbirth and beyond.
EmpowerMOM was created by Dr. Phindile Erika Chowa, an Emergency Medicine physician and founder of EMCare2U, after witnessing firsthand how unprepared and unsupported many women feel during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Dr. Chowa envisioned a gathering where women could learn, connect, and feel uplifted — a space where education, community, and culturally competent support come together. EmpowerMOM was designed to bring birth workers, resources, and families into one room so moms are no longer navigating these seasons alone.
Through EmpowerMOM, Dr. Chowa’s mission is clear: to bridge the gaps in postpartum care, improve maternal health outcomes, and build a stronger village for mothers, especially Black mothers, during the most vulnerable and transformative seasons of their lives.
April's EmpowerMOM is presented by Black Girls Mental Health Foundation , a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing mental health support, resources, and training to Black women. This event is proudly being held during Black Maternal Health Week, a time dedicated to honoring, supporting, and advocating for Black mothers and birthing people.
So get ready to be showered with love, support, and expert guidance at every step of your journey. Whether you're trying to conceive, expecting your first baby or your fourth, or navigating the postpartum period, EmpowerMOM is a warm, high-impact event created to celebrate you, support you, and equip you with the tools you need for a confident pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience.
You are welcome to attend with your partner, family members, or your support system, this event is for the whole village.

Panel Discussion: Real talk and expert insights on pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and maternal well-being

Keisha N. Blain in conversation with Beverly Guy-Sheftall for a celebration of Without Fear: Black Women and the Making of Human Rights
This event is free and open to the public, but registration is encouraged. Register here. This event takes place at the Auburn Avenue Research Library, 101 Auburn Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30303. Doors open at 6pm. Event begins promptly at 6:30pm.
Charis and the Auburn Avenue Research Library welcome Keisha N. Blain in conversation with Beverly Guy-Sheftall for a celebration of Without Fear: Black Women and the Making of Human Right, anaccount of Black Women's aspirations, strategies, and struggles to pioneer a human rights approach to combating systems of injustice.
Even before they were recognized as citizens of the United States, Black women understood that the fights for civil and human rights were inseparable. Over the course of two hundred years, they were at the forefront of national and international movements for social change, weaving connections between their own and others’ freedom struggles around the world.
Without Fear tells how, during American history, Black women made humans rights theirs: from worldwide travel and public advocacy in the global Black press to their work for the United Nations, they courageously and effectively moved human rights beyond an esoteric concept to an active, organizing principle. Acclaimed historian Keisha N. Blain tells the story of these women—from the well-known, like Ida B. Wells, Madam C. J. Walker, and Lena Horne, to those who are still less known, including Pearl Sherrod, Aretha McKinley, and Marguerite Cartwright. Blain captures human rights thinking and activism from the ground up with Black women at the center, working outside the traditional halls of power.
By shouldering intersecting forms of oppression—including racism, sexism, and classism—Black women have long been in a unique position to fight for freedom and dignity. Without Fear is an account of their aspirations, strategies, and struggles to pioneer a human rights approach to combating systems of injustice.
