Support Mama Empress Xianei: A Black Mama's Journey to a Joyful and Safe Birth
Dear Friends, Family, and Kindhearted Supporters,
We are coming together to support our beloved friend, Xianei, as she prepares to welcome a beautiful baby boy into the world! A Chef and entrepreneur born and raised in Oakland, CA, Xianei has spent her life fighting for food justice and creating access to healthy, nourishing meals for underprivileged communities. Now, as a single mother-to-be, she needs our support to ensure a safe and empowering birth experience.
Why Your Help Matters
For Black women in the U.S., the maternal mortality rate is alarmingly high, with systemic disparities making childbirth a dangerous and often isolating journey. To prioritize her health and her baby’s, Xianei has made the courageous decision to give birth in Mérida, Mexico, a place where she can access holistic care surrounded by a nurturing environment.
This journey is about more than just birth, it's about rewriting the narrative for Black mothers, creating a space filled with love, dignity, and safety for Xianei and her baby boy.
What Your Contributions Will Support
Your generous donations will go directly toward covering essential costs, including:
Housing: A safe, comfortable space for Xianei to prepare for and recover from childbirth.
Midwife and Medical Care: Compassionate midwives and skilled doctors for prenatal care, pelvic exams, and labor.
Food and Nourishment: Healthy, nutrient-dense meals to support both mother and baby.
Love and Support: Helping create a calm, stress-free environment for Xianei during this sacred time.
Let's Welcome Baby Boy with Love
Xianei’s baby boy is due to join us on April 3rd, 2024, and we can’t wait to shower them both with the love they deserve. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to ensuring a joyful and safe experience for Xianei and her baby.
Thank you for standing with us to uplift a Single Black mother who has dedicated her life to uplifting others. Together, we can make this journey one of empowerment, safety, and boundless love.
With deepest gratitude,
Laurie Jean
