Monroe intimately knows about childbirth and the fourth trimester. For over forty years, she’s helped thousands give birth, and has taught thousands more how to support birthing parents, all integrating the deep wisdom of African American healing traditions. Long suppressed by the white medical establishment, these practices—such as belly binding, heat, herbs, the lying‑in period, and the “taking‑out‑of‑bed ritual”—are powerful healing tools. Using them, we mother the mother through a healthy postpartum period.While this framework will be powerful healing for all mothers, the information in her book can save Black mothers' lives; with African American women disproportionately suffering from maternal mortality and morbidity, there is an urgent need for an embrace of African American postpartum care that surrounds the new mother and her baby with community, love, and protection. Mothering the Mother is a resource for Black women and communities to reclaim their cultural traditions for a healthy postpartum recuperation.On this occassion, we will listen to Shafia Monroe share excerpts from her upcoming book (release date Janury 2026) "Mothering the Mother, African American Postpartum Traditions, Recipes and Healing". Shafia will also take time do a Talk-Back with her audience and sign Memory Cards which can later be used as a book mark!A Culturally Inspiring Eve, with Author Shafia Monroe is hosted by Birth in the Tradition founded by Mama Sarahn a Community Midwife of Atlanta, Georgia serving families for over forty years and sponsored by: SisterSongBlack Mamas Matter AllianceGeorgia Black Doula Network Training Institute Birth Work MasteryAs you mix and mingle, enjoy Deserts by SweetLea and Wellness Tea by Majestea! https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/9908de70-bec7-11f0-a551-df8878d561b8-rimg-w597-h740-dc494845-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/9945c060-bec7-11f0-a429-ed86c12b07ee-rimg-w740-h740-dc000000-gmir.png https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/99bc4ff0-bec7-11f0-a429-ed86c12b07ee-rimg-w1200-h492-dcffffff-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/9a07b0d0-bec7-11f0-a551-df8878d561b8-rimg-w856-h740-dcffffff-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/9a5ab2d0-bec7-11f0-a551-df8878d561b8-rimg-w1200-h627-dcffffff-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/9a8433d0-bec7-11f0-a551-df8878d561b8-rimg-w740-h740-dc000000-gmir.png https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/9aaddbe0-bec7-11f0-a429-ed86c12b07ee-rimg-w580-h740-dcf7c85f-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/atlanta/an-evening-with-mama-shafia-monroe/100001956398463469 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, art, literary-art, workshops, calendar - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 20, max: 20, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Atlanta - **state**: GA - **country**: United States - **location**: Atlanta Birth Center - **lat**: 33.7685233 - **long**: -84.3881746 - **full address**: Atlanta Birth Center, 1 Baltimore Place Northwest, Atlanta, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: An Evening with Mama Shafia Monroe - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/01e46caaf4ed6a20ac61f0e9183d634594a8b8940e1adbcf702cacb1d201a512-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf8f8f6-gmir.jpg?v=1762842509 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is An Evening with Mama Shafia Monroe being held? - **A:** An Evening with Mama Shafia Monroe takes place on Sun, 07 Dec, 2025 at 06:30 am to Sun, 07 Dec, 2025 at 08:30 pm at Atlanta Birth Center, 1 Baltimore Place Northwest, Atlanta, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing An Evening with Mama Shafia Monroe? - **A:** An Evening with Mama Shafia Monroe is organized by Birth in the Tradition. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
