ROOTT is a Movement
Our grounding principal and foundation is, and will always be, We are Enough. We utilize a holistic model to address all aspects of our lives, health, and wellbeing. We believe in the power of our own resource, while living in the reality of our society. We, unapologetically, focus on the needs of Black Women, Infants, and Families as well as Families of Color, by addressing the structures that lead to the impact of Social Determinants of Health. We address maternal and infant health in our communities from the root cause.
