Redefining postpartum care: Supporting mother’s mental wellness in every stage of motherhood.

A LETTER FROM THE FOUNDER

When I became a mother, I expected constant joy—but what I didn’t expect were the silent struggles that came with it. The anxiety. The exhaustion. The feelings of inadequacy. The unspoken pain of navigating postpartum depression in a world that tells us to “be strong.” I found myself searching for support, yet the resources for maternal mental health, especially for Black mothers, were scarce.

I started The Mama Wellness Foundation because no mother should have to suffer in silence. This foundation is built on the belief that your well-being matters too. That you deserve rest, healing, and a village that truly sees and supports you.

Whether you’re a new mom navigating postpartum, a funder looking to make a difference, or a supporter who believes in our mission—thank you for being here.

Together, we can ensure that no mother walks this journey alone.

Mama Love ♥

The past few months have passed quickly, but taking care of the baby and myself has started to catch up with me. I appreciate the help I've received from Tameka Christmas and The Mama Wellness Foundation, which has included premade meals for the week to aid in my postpartum recovery. She's an inspiration, and her work is amazing. Thank you again for your kindness!

Thank you sooooooo much. I can’t thank you enough for this unexpected blessing!!! I am single mother that’s new to Texas and this unexpected blessing has helped tremedous with saving money.
