ALLIANCE FOR BLACK NICU FAMILIES
Mission
The Alliance for Black NICU Families™ seeks to raise the voice of black families in the NICU and post-NICU in terms of creating racial and health equity through policy advocacy, professional educational initiatives, family educational initiatives, leadership mentoring of up and coming African American-led organizations and public outreach for assistance.
About Us
Started weeks after Mr. Floyd was brutally murdered at the hands of a White police office, Co-Founders Ashley Randolph and Deb Discenza joined together in unity to make racial and health equity change in their space in maternal child health. We have three specific programs: 1) Providing a free wearable breast pump to a Black NICU Birthing Person as an equalizer and therefore no income requirement is requirement, 2) Policy Change for NICU Professionals licenses state by state using survey data and coalition building, and 3) Micro-grants for our Black-Led organizations to help them not only survive but thrive.
