We champion health equity by democratizing how the story of health disparities is told. By us, for us.
We co-create culturally relevant, narrative-centered, multi-media communication and mobile applications, by people of color for people of color, to foster systemic change, transform current health messaging and communication practices and catalyze behavioral shifts to eradicate health disparities.
Our unique, by us for us approach, puts members of the most affected communities at the center of our theory of change. And we make it possible for a much broader group of peoples’ stories to be heard and validated; democratizing access to developing and disseminating the narratives that shape our understanding of the world around us.
We Speak Two Gen

We Speak Two Gen
Centered in the work to recalibrate the conversation about health equity, pregnancy is a unique time to affect two generations and create and narrate a new health trajectory that starts at birth.

We are on a mission to equalize the experience of giving birth for every person. Irth disrupts the notion that all women experience the same hospital or doctor in the same way.

Now there's an app to screen for that.
