## Description

BBEN, or Black Birth Equity NOW, is dedicated to advancing Black maternal health in Arizona through comprehensive and culturally relevant approaches. The organization focuses on providing perinatal support, advocating for systemic change, and promoting workforce development while engaging in community-based participatory research.

The organization's vision is to create a healthcare system where Black mothers thrive in an equitable environment free from disparities.
