The ARIAH Foundation

The Advancement of Reproductive Innovation Through Artistry and Healing

ABOUT US

The ARIAH Foundation (Advancement of Reproductive Innovation Through Artistry and Healing)  was established in 2019 after the tragic and preventable death of Shamony Makeba Gibson due to a birth related pulmonary embolism. Shamony represents so many powerful women of color whose lives were cut short due to birth inequities and reproductive injustice in the United States. The foundation seeks to support individuals, families and communities who experience the devastating Aftershock associated with maternal/infant morbidity and mortality. ARIAH provides mental, physical emotional and/or spiritual assistance to support the affected families as they navigate the impact of these traumatic experiences.
