Behind Solo Stork
Solo Stork was founded by Imani Bradford, a single mom who faced the unique challenges of
navigating pregnancy alone. Early in her pregnancy, Imani made the difficult decision to leave an
unhealthy and unsupportive relationship determined to create an environment where her son
could thrive, not just survive. She knew that providing a safe and nurturing foundation for her
child started with making the hard but necessary decisions for their future.
During this time, Imani searched for resources and support that truly resonated with her
experience. However, she found that many resources either failed to address the realities of
single pregnancy or perpetuated the stigmas surrounding single mothers. The lack of relatable,
empowering support was glaring, and it left Imani feeling unseen and unsupported during a
critical time in her life.
This experience inspired her to create Solo Stork, an organization dedicated to advocating for
single pregnant women and single mothers. Through Solo Stork, Imani aims to bring awareness
to the unique challenges faced by solo moms, dismantle harmful stereotypes, and provide a
support network that validates their journeys while helping them move forward confidently.
Imani’s mission is to ensure that no woman navigating pregnancy or motherhood alone feels
invisible or judged—and that every single mom has access to the resources, community, and
encouragement she needs to thrive.
