Ambreia Meadows-Fernandez
Ambreia Meadows-Fernandez is a speaker and award-winning storyteller who has written hundreds of essays on the demands of mothering, and how social and health-based systems fail us— especially when Black. You can read her work in the Washington Post, The New York Times, Parents, and countless other publications where her words connect what mothers feel but fear saying.
She founded FreeBlackmotherhood to highlight the importance of maternal authenticity, reflection, and emotional freedom and to encourage Black mothers and others to “free themselves, the children will follow.”
