Mission Statement
The mission of A Wombman’s Way Warrior Midwife Training Program is to transform maternal and infant health by training midwives to provide comprehensive, culturally competent, and trauma-informed care that improves outcomes for women, families, and communities.
Vision
A Wombman’s Way Warrior Midwife Training envisions a world where every woman and birthing person is supported by a well-trained, culturally grounded midwife rooted in justice, compassion, and ancestral wisdom—ensuring safe, sacred, and empowered birth experiences for all.
Purpose
But our purpose runs deeper than education—it is a reclamation.
Founded by Midwife Sakina O’Uhuru, a seasoned healthcare professional, educator, and servant leader with over 30 years of experience, AWWWMT was created in response to a dual crisis: the high Black maternal and infant mortality rates in the U.S., and the ongoing underrepresentation—and erasure—of Black midwives from the very profession they helped shape.
Our school exists to interrupt harmful narratives while honoring the legacy of the thousands of Black midwives who once birthed this nation through community-based, apprentice-style learning. These were the healers and protectors of our families—yet their wisdom has been silenced, criminalized, and removed from mainstream healthcare.
At AWWWMT, we are restoring that wisdom.
We are a culturally-centered, inclusive midwifery education program rooted in birth justice, reproductive justice, and ancestral knowledge. We blend sacred tradition with clinical excellence to prepare our students to be skilled, conscious, and compassionate midwives.
Our doors are open to all students, but we proudly center Black voices, history, and experiences—not to exclude, but to repair. Just as HBCUs and faith-based institutions serve as healing spaces for their communities, so too does AWWWMT. We offer a place of belonging, dignity, and safety—a learning environment free of trauma, gatekeeping, and the oppressive hierarchies that still plague midwifery education today.
This work is not without resistance. We understand that challenging the status quo often invites scrutiny and bias. But we will not be deterred. We know that when midwives are trained to serve their communities with integrity, respect, and cultural humility, lives are saved and families are strengthened.
Midwifery is healing. Midwifery is liberation.
Our program is a movement to restore the profession to what it once was—and what it must become: a sacred calling rooted in justice, community, and love.
