We need your help to raise $30,000 to produce Push Thru, a powerful documentary giving voice to the challenges and triumphs of Black mothers.

Despite advances in medicine, Black women in the U.S. remain 3-4 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white women. They face higher rates of life-threatening conditions like pre-eclampsia and eclampsia and are more likely to experience inadequate treatment and biased care from medical providers.  Additionally, 1 in 5 new moms experience a maternal mental health condition. However, 40% of Black women experience maternal mental health symptoms—nearly twice the rate of all women. Up to half of these women do not receive any support or treatment.

Push Thru will highlight the journey to motherhood, capturing prenatal care, childbirth, and postpartum experiences. Through interviews with mothers, partners, doctors, subject matter doulas, and advocates, the film will examine the systemic issues behind maternal health disparities and highlight solutions.

Funds raised through this campaign will support filming, editing, graphics, music licensing, travel, and distribution. All donors will receive credit for the film but have no legal rights to the film.

By supporting Push Thru, you can help shine a light on the challenges facing Black mothers and advocate for greater justice, empathy, and care. Let's work together to make the journey to motherhood safer for all.

Please give what you can today - no amount is too small - to help lift the voices and stories of Black women. Together, we can Push Thru and be a catalyst for change in Black maternal mental health.
