Fanm Saj 

"Nurturing an Ecosystem of Restoration and Solidarity"

Fanm Saj in the Haitian Creole Language means "Midwife" - in the literal term Fanm-means woman and Saj means gentleness. We know that Midwives catch babies and Fanm Saj, Inc as an organization exists to catch communities. Check out the We Got Us Summit Video Below.


Founded in 2018, Fanm Saj envisions a world where families of all ages and abilities have the power and support to live in safe and spiritually, mentally physically healthy communities.The core reason that we exist is to stand in the gap to provide Black families, Black moms, Black dads, Black children with tools to care for themselves.

Our Key program areas are outlined below:


Sacred Healing Circles

This monthly space is set to create a safe and brave space for Black women. It serves as a leadership development opportunity for Black women to practice healing, community and culture shifting. It is composed of story sharing, documenting as well as building collective self-care and community care practices. The space is grounded in circle keeping as a tool for healing and accountability for the sake of building stronger movement relationships.
