🌟 Empower the Next Wave: Phase 1 of Our Maternal Health Revolution

Join Our Groundbreaking Initiative! 🌱 Empower. Support. Transform. 🌱

Every mother deserves a safe, respectful, and knowledgeable birthing experience. Yet, disparities in maternal healthcare persist, particularly for Black, Indigenous, and Women of Color (BIWOC). It's time for change, and you can be a part of it!

Body and Soul Sovereignty United Aka Bass United is launching a pioneering curriculum for University health science programs using the Two-Eyed Seeing or Etuaptmumk (TES/E) approach — a harmonious blend of Indigenous wisdom and modern healthcare practices. This program aims to revolutionize maternal healthcare by training the next generation of professionals to be more humane, relational, and effective.

Phase 1: Launching With Your Support. Our immediate goal: Raise $10,000 to support 20 BIWOC participants who are under the care of students trained in the TES/E approach. Actively seeking input from the women and listening to their firsthand experiences of receiving maternal healthcare given by these students is pivotal. This engagement not only fosters a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by women of color but also serves as a catalyst for driving meaningful improvements in healthcare services tailored to their needs. Your donation will directly support their involvement, covering essential needs like lost wages, travel, and childcare while they invest their time in storytelling, self-reflecting, interpreting, and offering suggestions for the refinement of the program. This initial phase is crucial for laying the groundwork and providing immediate, tangible support to those at the heart of this movement.

But Our Vision Extends Further...

Phase 2 and Beyond: Building a Movement While Phase 1 focuses on immediate participant support, our vision encompasses a broader goal. We aim to involve 100 BIWOC participants in this transformative project, requiring an expanded fundraising target to ensure every participant receives the support they need. More women involved in the evaluation helps to determine the effectiveness of the curriculum.

Your contribution to Phase 1 is the seed from which this larger movement will grow. By investing in our initial campaign, you're not just supporting individual participants; you're contributing to a foundational effort that paves the way for institutional change in maternal healthcare.

Your Role in Shaping the Future By joining us from the start, you're not only supporting this crucial first step but also contributing to a larger movement aimed at systemic change to advance health equity for women of color, lowering the rates of maternal morbidity and mortality. Here's how we'll keep you engaged and informed:

Regular Updates: Champion supporters who contribute to all phases will receive ongoing updates about the project's progress, including tangible results and outcomes from each phase.
Exclusive Insights: As we develop and refine the curriculum, we'll share key learnings and insights, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how your support is making a difference.
Implementing the Curriculum: Once the outcomes of the TES/E pilot project have been established, Tribal authorities will make decisions regarding the publication and distribution of the curriculum. If approved for those contributors interested in bringing this transformative education to their organizations, we'll provide support on how to access and implement the TES/E curriculum. This ensures that the impact of your contribution extends beyond our initiative, fostering broader change in maternal healthcare.
