The Arise BIPOC Midwife Future of Midwifery Celebration

-

Arise Black Midwife is so excited to be hosting The Arise BIPOC Midwife Future of Midwifery Celebration at Morgan State University on October 17, 2026, 2- 6 p.m.! 

This will be an HBCU-style Homecoming Event for Midwives that will introduce many of the Community Midwives who have served the local area for many years, while we uplift our Rising & Student Midwives during an iconic Pinning Ceremony and celebrate both New & Graduate Midwives in the local area.

The Theme of the event is "Unify to Diversify" as Arise expands her reach to Black, Indigenous & People of Color (BIPOC) this Fall.



Whereas every Honoree has identified as BIPOC, their family, loved ones, allies, advocates, mentors, preceptors, and other supporters are welcome to join the celebration regardless of race or ethnicity.

We are also excited to introduce Arise Community!, which is a unique way to contribute to a Midwifery Fund for your Celebrant by making a donation in their honor.

Thank You, Midwifery Policy Collective, for 
Selecting Maryland as a Community Midwifery Champion 
and for making this Event Possible through the work of 
The Maryland Community Midwifery Collaborative!

The Arise Black Midwife Initiative is launching her sister affair to be inclusive of all people of color. 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 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.  This Year's Theme is Unify to Diversify Intake for the 2026 Arise BIPOC Midwife Fall Cohort has begun!

  There is something peculiar and deeply unique about the Rising Black Midwife. Their origins are strong and their passion unusually groundbreaking. 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...
