Sister Circle Community

The Sister Circle Community creates spaces for Black mothers and birth givers to have regular opportunities to build community with other Black women and birth givers while engaging in activities, both in-person and virtual, that are joyful, rejuvenating, educational, healthy and supportive of their perinatal journey.

Ways To Be Involved

Sister Circle Support Groups, Mamas Meetups, GirlTrek Walks, Educational Workshops, and more!

The Sister Circle Community

The Black Mamas ATX Sister Circle Community is a virtual and in-person community for Black mothers and birth givers during their perinatal period, and Black women and community members who hope to give birth in the future or who want to be a support system for Black mothers and birth givers to share space, have fun, move joyfully and build community.

All Black Mamas ATX doula clients are automatically included in our Sister Circle Community, but it is also open to Black women and birthing persons even if you do not have a doula or if you work with a doula who is from another organization or is independent.

Mamas Meetups

Mamas Meetups are Fun Self-Care and Collective Care activities hosted by Black Mamas ATX every season. We have a Mamas Meetup in Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter each year.

GirlTrek Walks

Black Mamas ATX has a GirlTrek Walking Team that walks on Saturday mornings in various parks around Austin. Each month we walk at a different park in or around Austin Texas. GirlTrek is a global movement of Black women leveraging the historic legacy of walking and the power of self-care as a pathway to heal and transform our lives. GirlTrek believes walking 30 minutes a day is a radical act of self-love and the root of a cultural revolution.

Sister Circle Perinatal Support Groups

Our Sister Circle Perinatal Support Group is a time for connecting, learning, growing, and expanding sisterhood/community. This support group is created for Black mamas and birth givers who are pregnant or up to 18 months postpartum. It meets every month, mostly virtually, with in-person groups taking place once per quarter.

These doula-led and expert-let workshops cover a range of topics and are a great opportunity to increase your knowlege and preparedness for pregnancy, labor, postpartum and beyond! Upcoming workshops are shared in our newsletter and on our social media.
