Hi Mama!
I’m Imani Bradford, founder of Solo Stork, nurse, senior biomedical science student, and a proud single mom. This platform was inspired by my journey of navigating pregnancy and motherhood alone. Here, your story is important, your resilience is celebrated, and support is always within reach.
Behind Solo Stork
Imani Bradford is a maternal health advocate, nurse, and founder of Solo Stork, a platform born from her lived experience as a single mother determined to create a safe and nurturing future for her son. What began as a deeply personal mission to support single pregnant women has grown into a broader advocacy movement dedicated to improving maternal health outcomes for all mothers and babies.
Early in her pregnancy, Imani made the courageous decision to leave an unhealthy relationship in order to build a safe, supportive environment where her child could thrive. In the process, she experienced firsthand the glaring gaps in resources, representation, and support for women navigating pregnancy alone. From that experience, Solo Stork was created to provide connection, resources, and advocacy for single mothers, but Imani’s vision and impact have since expanded.
Today, Imani’s work extends far beyond her own story. She is a passionate voice in the fight to address the maternal health crisis at both the state and federal levels.
Through partnerships with leading organizations such as March of Dimes and Maternity Care Coalition, Imani ensures that the unique needs of mothers, whether single or partnered, are at the forefront of every conversation about the future of healthcare, family policy, and maternal wellbeing. Her advocacy focuses on dismantling stigma, advancing equitable access to care, and driving policy reform that centers the health, dignity, and future of mothers and their babies.
Imani’s efforts are gaining recognition for creating waves of change across communities and legislative spaces alike. From influencing public policy to shaping conversations on maternal health equity, she is committed to ensuring that no woman feels unseen or unheard and that every mother, regardless of circumstance, has access to the resources, respect, and support she needs to thrive.
Through Solo Stork and her partnerships, Imani is building a future where maternal health is a national priority and every mother’s story is valued in the pursuit of lasting change.
