Healing & Empowering, One Stitch at a Time
As we journey through life, each of us carries pieces of our history, our struggles, and our triumphs. These pieces come together to create the beautiful tapestry that is our community. The Quilt Project is our way of honoring this legacy. Named for the tradition of creating something whole and protective from diverse and sometimes discarded parts; this Baby Yams initiative is about more than quilts—it’s about unity, strength, and the power of collective support. We are providing cover for each other, just as we always have.
The Quilt Project will empower Black and Indigenous birth workers by partnering with organizations on the ground already doing the work. Together, we can shift the focus from generational trauma to generational healing. This is our strength. This is our inheritance. And this is how we will heal and uplift one another, one stitch at a time.
