We are so happy to launch our partnership and collaboration with Baby Yams, a brand created by actress and activist Tatyana Ali. BFF and Baby Yams share a common goal to empower midwives and birthworkers with the resources to do what they do best, providing culturally concordant and liberating reproductive care. This collaboration strengthens our capacity and brings us closer to realizing our vision of liberation and abundance. Together, we’re better!
