Resources Given

No family should feel alone or unprepared in welcoming a new baby. The Mothership provides essential baby supplies—such as diapers, wipes, baby clothes, formula, and baby gear—free of charge to families in need. These resources are distributed through our Community Baby Showers and on an ongoing basis to support families during the early months of parenting.

Mothers Who Received Support

At The Mothership, we believe every mother deserves culturally rooted, compassionate care throughout pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Our doulas are trained to provide emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after birth. By building a network of trusted, community-based birth workers, we help reduce birth disparities and restore traditional birth wisdom.

Parenting Classes

We offer free, culturally relevant parenting education for mothers, fathers, and caregivers at every stage of the journey. Our classes include childbirth preparation, postpartum wellness, infant care, breastfeeding support, and conscious parenting techniques. Through knowledge and community connection, we empower parents with the confidence and skills they need to raise healthy, resilient children.

Events, Gatherings, and Counciling  

From film screenings and community brunches to healing circles and panel discussions, The Mothership hosts vibrant, informative events that center the voices and experiences of mothers and families.

The Mothership Center 

4365 Reading Rd, Cincinnati, Ohio 45229

The Mothership Center is a nurturing space rooted in love, tradition, and justice—dedicated to uplifting women of color, their families, and birthworkers. Our mission is to provide culturally centered care through doula training, free parenting education, essential baby resources, and community events that foster healing, awareness, and empowerment. We are committed to restoring ancestral birth practices and building a strong, supportive village around every mother and child.

The Mothership Is A Community Hub

The Mothership is a homegrown institution rooted in the heart of the community, created by and for women of color. It serves as both a training ground and a sanctuary—where tradition meets advocacy, and where families are empowered with knowledge, care, and support. Through its educational programs, doula services, healing-centered events, and access to vital baby resources, The Mothership uplifts the whole village. The Mothership Center is more than a building—it’s a hub of connection, restoration, and possibility, where every woman is seen, every birth is honored, and every family is embraced.

When you educate a parent you lift up a family legacy.

New Women, Ancient Wisdom: Teen Doulas Supporting Teen Moms

At The Mothership, we believe that the power to heal, support, and guide is not bound by age—it is an ancestral calling that can rise early in a young woman’s life. That belief inspired our Teen Doula Circle, a groundbreaking initiative we call New Women, Ancient Wisdom.
 

This program was designed to train and empower teen mothers to become doulas for each other—reclaiming the tradition of peer-based, community-rooted birth support. Through culturally centered education, hands-on practice, and deep sisterhood, these young women are transforming their pain into purpose and stepping into their ancient role as nurturers, protectors, and advocates.

Many of the participants came to us while navigating their own pregnancies and early parenting journeys. Instead of being isolated or shamed, they entered a circle of support where their lived experiences were honored as sacred knowledge. In New Women, Ancient Wisdom, they learned about prenatal care, labor support, postpartum healing, breastfeeding, and emotional wellness—not just as students, but as future doulas for their peers.
 

This work is revolutionary. It breaks cycles of trauma, builds leadership, and restores traditional care systems among women of color—starting with the youth. Our teen doulas have already supported one another in birth and parenting, creating a ripple effect of trust, confidence, and care throughout their community.
 

At The Mothership, we know that when young women are empowered, entire generations shift. New Women, Ancient Wisdom is more than a program—it’s a movement of healing through tradition, sisterhood, and shared experience. We are so proud of these brave, brilliant young women who are rewriting their stories and lifting each other up.

They are not just the future—they are the now.
