The Arise BIPOC Midwife Future of Midwifery Celebration

The Arise BIPOC Midwife Student Pinning Ceremony

Founded by Rising Black Midwife Keyawna Scruggs Matthews, Arise BIPOC Midwife is a Pinning Ceremony for BIPOC Student Midwives that spans across all genres of midwifery and across all academic and training programs.

Arise BIPOC Midwife seeks to diversify midwifery by improving student retention due to a lack of connection during the learning experience. The ceremony is an affair where future BIPOC midwives commit to their personal journeys while being guided by the altruistic blessings of current BIPOC Midwives. Our collective participation with others leads to a deeper camaraderie that we may not find within our educational institutions. 


The Arise BIPOC Midwife Celebration of New Midwives

As a natural continuation of Arise BIPOC Midwife's vision, the initiative will officially host a celebration of our new midwives. Our local region has a beautiful influx of new midwives, especially those who serve in community settings, and we aim to recognize and honor them at the affair. 

The BIPOC Midwife Social Networking & Cocktail Affair

The Arise BIPOC Midwife celebration will be an opportunity for local midwives to participate as Guiding Midwives during the Ceremonies while also networking and making connections. Our intent is to uplift the BIPOC midwives who diligently serve birthing families throughout the region, and this will include midwives from all genres who work in all environments (community, clinic, homebirth, transfer hospital, academia, research, etc.)

This Year's Theme is Unify to Diversify

Midwifery is not a basic job choice to them—no, it's typically a calling that rises from their soul. Unfortunately however, the plight of the Black Midwife is never truly straightforward or direct! The obstacles we face arise as if to prevent us from attaining this goal! No matter our native land, our kind, our tribe or tongue, the truth remains that we don’t have the same access, and becoming midwives will empower us to be pillars of hope for our community.  Arise Black Midwife is a commitment ceremony that came from this concept. It is a single affair where aspiring black midwives commit to their personal journeys to the field in a meaningful way, while being guided by the altruistic blessings of current black midwives who have risen through their experiences. Much like the African American tradition of fostering unity and siste...
