The Post Pregnancy Boujie Express is a maternal health initiative under The Sincerely, Vee Foundation. Launched in 2017, The Post Pregnancy Boujie Express educates and uplifts women on their journey of motherhood. Pregnancy is an emotional and physical change for every woman.  Pregnancy is one of the most critical times for a mother; a time when she can easily slip into depression and lose her self-confidence. Your body changes, your state of mind changes and most times, the woman thinks she's the only person experiencing these drastic changes in her life. It's all about the woman fully taking control of her life while learning how to balance motherhood, family-life, career and self-care while also championing SDG goals; 3, 4, 6, & 9.

There are many reasons as to why I launched the initiative in Accra. 

First, each woman's case of post-partum woes differs but having a network in which we can openly discuss it can be of help to each other. 

Secondly, overcrowding in hospitals; meaning women who have just given birth are sleeping on hospital floors with their newborns. This initiative assists in paying the discharge bills of financially strapped mothers alongside their newborns.

Thirdly, the health, education and care provided to women before, during and after pregnancy should never be compromised based on financial status. 

During each event six phenomenal moms from different industries open up about motherhood as a whole. Each woman touches on a specific topic for 15 minutes. Professionals from various sectors provide the best and intensive advice on topics from the importance of breastfeeding, proper care for mommy and baby, family planning to balancing motherhood and career. 

The Post Pregnancy Boujie Express Care Package was launched in May of 2019. The package is filled with mommy necessities and is filled with 75% Made in Ghana products. Each package includes nursing pads, shea butter, alata samina (Black Soap), toothbrush, toothpaste, lip balm and sanitary pads.
