Testimonials

"I’ve grown from Mum to Maternity Ambassador for Change (MAC), and being in this role feels natural to me. From the moment I came into Maternity Engagement Action, I knew that Black maternal well-being was my passion and I am determined to see changes for the better for my sisters."
Natasha Subi, MAC
"The project we collaborated on focused on the experience of Black women using perinatal mental health services. The first stage of the work we completed was delivered over two workshops. It was productive, it was emotional, it was creative, it was cerebral, and we together delivered the work needed to take forward in our push to transform services."
Emachi Eneje, Breeze Lab
"It’s been a privilege walking alongside MEA’s Maternity Ambassadors for Change over the last few months as the group have taken their first steps towards formalising their approach to Systems Change. For Black women to be at the forefront of understanding, imagining and interpreting our experiences is a necessary, essential and critical step towards meaningful co-production and systems change."
