Queens Village Akron

Queens Village is a supportive community of powerful Black women who come together to relax, repower and take care of themselves and each other.

WHY WE EXISTBlack women in the U.S. are up to 3 times more likely to experience infant loss regardless of socioeconomic status.

WELCOME QUEENS AND ALLIES!

We are a growing team dedicated to amplifying Black women’s voices.

We are shifting not only racial disparities in birth outcomes but also the conditions that drive inequity in maternal and infant health. We provide a safe space for Black mothers to support and be supported by their peers, connect, relieve stress, process trauma, and build a better world together for ourselves and our children. With our members, we are collaborating and creating an organization with purpose. - Dr. Meredith Shockley-Smith, Queens Village Founder
