32 Years of Advocacy. Innovation. Impact.
During fiscal year 2022, i.D.R.E.A.M. celebrates 32 years of addressing racial and health disparities in Black maternal and infant health.
What began as advocacy has grown into a movement rooted in storytelling, community, and systemic change, helping Black families not only survive, but truly thrive.
By uplifting authentic stories across generations of Black women, we’ve reframed harmful narratives around maternal and infant mortality, shifting the focus from crisis to healing, resilience, and life.
