EMPOWERING OUR VILLAGE TO
Meet the Moment
NBCDI is building the world Black children deserve to be born into — and empowering our Village to Dream Forward and Act Now.
Rooted in Afrofuturism and Afro-Nowism, our work turns imagination into infrastructure and policy into possibility.
We mobilize communities, shape systems, and ignite movements inspired by NBCDI’s Eight Essential Outcomes — a shared vision for healthy births, safe learning, family stability, cultural affirmation, and joy as a measure of justice.
Together, we’re creating an equitable and just future — grounded in data, rooted in culture, and powered by us.
