Birth & Bold Medicine
The Heirloom Network invites you to an evening of visionary care.
What does it look like when a founder builds a company that prioritizes both maternal care and medicine for Black Women?
Come join us for an evening with Dr. Yamicia Connor, MD, PhD, MPH, an OB-GYN physician-scientist and the founder of Diosa Ara, a maternal health and medicine startup redefining how care is delivered throughout pregnancy. Grounded in her training and shaped by her lived experience as a mother, Dr. Connor is building a business that challenges systems and centers healing. In this conversation, we’ll explore:
The founding of Diosa Ara and its unique care model
What it means to build a business that heals communities and challenges systems
What accessible, culturally-attuned care looks like in practice
This gathering is for practitioners re-envisioning care for patients, women preparing for pregnancy or navigating motherhood, founders building in the health space, and anyone committed to creating something better for ourselves and our communities.
About The Heirloom Network?
This event is hosted by The Heirloom Network, a comprehensive, membership-based support program by Provident1898 for Black women entrepreneurs and creatives in Durham, NC. We combine personalized business development, expert advising, coworking access, and monthly gatherings all centered on legacy, wellness, and connection.
The Heirloom Network exists to give rooted, creative, visionary women what we rarely receive in the entrepreneurial space: culturally-affirming support, intergenerational wisdom, and sustainable rhythms of growth.
Your success is not individual. It is collective. It is generational.
It is an heirloom passed down, waiting to be honored.
This time, the heirloom is maternal care restored, reimagined, and ours.
