BWBJ Black Birthworkers Forum

BWBJ Black Birthworkers Forum is for Black birth workers. Support one another and share what works.

Why you should join: Tips and tricks from fellow Black birthworkers, talks on working with families in community-based programmes, and a place to post events and trainings. Membership is $25 a year.

The one-liner

A low-cost yearly Mighty Networks forum where Black birth workers share tips and events.

What they actually sell

BWBJ Black Birthworkers Forum lives on Mighty Networks. Membership costs $25 a year. Members share tips and tricks, discuss the realities of working with families in community programmes, including sustainability challenges, and post upcoming events, workshops and trainings. The pitch is a virtual gathering of Black birth workers supporting one another, and the yearly fee is the whole headline. The Mighty Networks door is the main public surface.

Who pays and why

Black doulas, midwives and birth workers serving families in community programmes. They want peers who understand the unique challenges of the work. They pay for peer tips, discussions on sustainability and event listings.

Where the members come from

The BWBJ organisation and birth worker networks are the feeders. No social links or numbers appear. Posting events and trainings in the forum may also help members find paid work and continuing education.

What's holding it back

The page is very short and lists only three activities. Peer forums need regular activity, and there is no host, schedule or live call promised to keep conversation moving. A named moderator and a monthly gathering would give the low fee more weight.

Steal this

Price a peer forum yearly at a low rate, so the decision is easy for low-paid professionals.

Would this work in another niche?

Yes for community health workers or teaching assistants. Weak where members expect free peer groups.
