Embrace, the Movement for Mothers

This Mandela Day, we reflected on our core values: Care, Connection & Collective Action reminders that supporting mothers is key to a just society. We joined our partners #ThulaBabaproject at Constantia Christ Church, where ubuntu was alive in every stitch, pack & smile.

We're not falling for that! Not the guilt. Nor the shame. At Embrace, we believe in dignity, equity, and solidarity and that means challenging the harmful narratives that keep mothers isolated, undervalued, and overwhelmed. Today, we’re busting the myths!

We’re building a movement rooted in community and care. At the heart of it all? Dignity, Solidarity, and Equity. These values guide how we show up for mothers. What values guide the work you do in your community? We’d love to hear from you. Let’s keep the conversation going ⬇️

Calling all our Durban and Pietermaritzburg partners! We’re excited to host another Meet & Greet, this is a space to connect, collaborate, and grow together.

Young moms are leaders, nurturers, and powerhouses. At #GoBeyond25 with @YearBeyond, we’re celebrating the strength, resilience, and brilliance of young mothers and creating space for every story no matter how complex.
