4KIRA4MOMS ANNOUNCES…
4KIRA4DADS PATERNAL CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE (PCOE)!

This is a first of its kind, FREE tool and program designed specifically to support expectant fathers as they navigate the pregnancy journey with their pregnant partners. This program was developed with the goal of helping fathers better understand the biological, psychological, and social changes that occur both for mom and dad during this time so that they can increase their ability to navigate the experience safely and successfully. 

The program supports aspiring and expectant fathers by providing: 1) Awareness & Education – essential information and interactive playbooks; 2) A place to be supported– healing circles, emotional guidance and safe spaces to talk about concerns and complications; and 3) Agency & Advocacy –  practical advice and resources so that fathers can take their rightful place as their partner’s advocate and first line of defense during their pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum. This carefully crafted curriculum is a comprehensive approach utilizing a sports and locker room theme- designed to engage and equip fathers with the knowledge and confidence to be active, informed, and supportive partners throughout the pregnancy journey.

Our Story

In 2016, our founder, Charles Johnson, lost his wife Kira, during a routine C-section at Cedar Sinai hospital in Los Angeles, California. He founded 4Kira4Moms in 2017 as a response to his experience, to be a voice for other mothers and families facing unnecessary maternal loss, and putting an end to the maternal mortality health crisis. Black women are disproportionately affected by this epidemic, where they are 3x more likely to die from pregnancy than white women.

Kira Johnson’s Story

Kira Johnson tragically lost her life after a routine c-section at Cedars Sinai. Kira was allowed to bleed internally for more than 10 hours before the medical staff at Cedars Sinai took action. 

We fight to make sure this never happens to another mother. More women die in the United states each year than in any other civilized country in the world.
