For families who are experiencing pregnancy related grief & loss
At Propa City Community Outreach, we are dedicated to advocating for awareness around pregnancy and infant loss. Dealing with this type of loss is by no means an easy feat, but through personal connection and community resources we believe we can encourage families to find the voice they need to speak up and honor their child.
We hold healing and educational workshops and invite families of all walks of life to join our healing community.

Our sessions can be tailored to:
-
Mothers

Fathers

Support People (ie. grandparents, siblings and friends)

For Teens
Giving the youth a voice to advocate for their healing
With this initiative, our goal is to promote great opportunities for youth to create their own definition of healing. With access to the right resources, our youth become empowered to see their own abilities and gain the confidence to advocate for their own positive healing. Youth are presented with a safe space for conversation, questions, education and mentoring.
​
We host 8-12 week youth advocacy trainings for middle schools, high schools and other youth groups.

On February 7th, 2011, Stephanie gave birth to Simeon Jelani when she was 39 weeks pregnant. Unfortunately, Simeon was born "still" as his heart had stopped beating in utero. After taking a moment to process everything, Stephanie decided to establish the non-profit Propa City Community Outreach in honor of Simeon. This organization provides support to families facing similar tragedies through resources, peer support, raising awareness, advocacy efforts, and educational events. Stephanie aims to shine a light for those who are feeling lost until they find their way again.
