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.
✨ What to Expect
Panel Discussion: Real talk and expert insights on pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and maternal well-being
A chance to connect with fellow moms in a warm, welcoming space
A curated selection of vendors and birth professionals ready to support your journey

PFLAG Sandy Springs emerged from the heart of the community when residents of Dunwoody, Roswell, Sandy Springs, and Alpharetta sought more convenient access to local support and advocacy resources. What began as participants attending PFLAG Johns Creek meetings evolved into a dedicated local chapter, with monthly support group meetings launching in the community rooms of Congregation Bnai Torah in Sandy Springs. In March 2020, PFLAG Sandy Springs achieved official recognition as a nonprofit corporation, solidifying its commitment to serving the northern Atlanta suburbs. The organization's mission centers on building loving families united with LGBTQ+ people and allies who support one another, while educating the broader community to become advocates for equality and acceptance. PFLAG Sandy Springs honors a vision where diversity is celebrated and all people are respected, valued, and affirmed regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. The chapter demonstrates its dedication to comprehensive support by offering resources beyond meetings, including connections to crisis intervention hotlines, assistance for unhoused LGBTQ+ youth, and links to educational events. As part of the national PFLAG movement—established as the first organization of its kind to unite families across multiple generations—PFLAG Sandy Springs carries forward decades of advocacy work while remaining deeply rooted in local community relationships and personal connections that sustain healing and change.
