In honor of Black History Month, the 7th Annual Florida Fertility Expo, will shine a spotlight on three pioneering Black women leading the charge in reproductive health. Michelle McKoy, Jocelyn Gordon, and Jamarah Amani are transforming the fields of infertility awareness, integrative medicine, and maternal health—creating spaces for education, advocacy, and empowerment for Black women and underserved communities.
Set for April 18-19, 2025, at the Urban League of Broward County, the expo highlights the intersection of race, reproductive health, and access to care. Black women disproportionately face challenges in fertility treatment, maternal healthcare, and reproductive rights—a reality that these three women are actively working to change.

With over 20 years of experience as a fertility coach, Gordon has helped countless women achieve pregnancy through holistic and medical approaches. Having personally overcome endometriosis and adenomyosis, she conceived two daughters at 40—proving that Black women can redefine reproductive timelines. She specializes in supporting women with PCOS, hormone balance, and fertility wellness, bridging the gap between conventional medicine and natural healing practices.
Jamarah Amani: Birth Justice Advocate & Maternal Health Expert
As a recipient of the 2019 Trailblazer Award from the City of Miami, Amani is a community advocate and midwife, at the forefront of the Birth Justice movement, ensuring that Black mothers and babies receive equitable maternal care. She is the architect behind the Black Midwives Model of Care, the Birth Justice Bill of Rights, and the founder of Black Midwives Day. As director of the Southern Birth Justice Network and co-founder of the National Black Midwives Alliance, Amani has been tackling the epidemics of Black maternal and infant morbidity and mortality for over fifteen years.
