Sister Circle Support Group (In-Person)

A Healing Space for Black Birthing People

Every 2nd & 4th Tuesday • 6:00 – 7:30pm 
Starting July 14, 2026 at Sabathani Community Center
Free | Food provided 

You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Join a warm and welcoming community where Black birthing people are seen, heard, and supported just as they are.

The Sister Circle Support Group is a culturally affirming space designed to uplift and empower those in the perinatal period (pregnancy through one year postpartum). Whether you’re navigating the ups and downs of new parenthood or preparing for birth, this group offers the care and connection you deserve. 

Led by Akhmiri Sekhr-Ra, Chief Family Development Officer with the Cultural Wellness Center. Akhmiri has been a birth worker for the last 30 years helping families build community that includes their children. 

Each session is guided with compassion, cultural understanding, and a focus on mental and emotional wellness. Together, we’ll talk openly about the joys and challenges of this season of life, explore strategies for self-advocacy and healing, and build a supportive sisterhood you can count on. 

Why Join?

• Feel seen and understood in a space where your experiences are affirmed—no explanations required. 
• Care for your mental health with expert guidance to navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and more. 
• Build real community with others who share your journey and offer encouragement and solidarity. 

Who Can Join?

This group is open to African American individuals ages 18+ who are pregnant or up to one year postpartum. 

Join the Sister Circle Support Group and experience the power of healing, connection, and culturally rooted support. Come as you are, and find your community.

Space is limited.
