In celebration of Black Maternal Health Week, Rock The Bells and Curio NFT are excited to partner with Pampers on a Proof of Philanthropy (POAPY) NFT collection as they sponsor Black Mamas Matter Alliance, a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring Black mamas have the rights, respect, and resources they deserve during and after pregnancy. At the heart of this collection is the inspiring work of the talented artist Keah Adams, also known as Art By Venus. Art by Venus is an artist that explores original abstract expressionism and minimalism that muses the Black Feminine. The collection features an unlimited number of open edition NFTs and an exclusive one-of-one NFT. The one-of-one will include 2 VIP tickets to the upcoming Rock The Bells Festival in New York City.  A portion of all proceeds from the POAPY will go to Black Mamas Matter Alliance to help advance care for more Black mamas.

According to the American Journal of Managed Care, Black women are 3-5 times more likely to have a maternal death than White women in the United States. In 2020, Black women were most disproportionately affected with a mortality rate of 55.3 deaths per 100,000 live births, compared to 19.1 deaths per 100,000 live births, and 18.2 deaths per 100,000 live births for White and Hispanic women, respectively, says the CDC. 

Rock the Bells, Curio NFT,  and POAPY are set to preserve the rights of Black mothers through the power of arts, Hip-Hop, and creativity.  Learn more and help support Black Maternal Health Equity here. https://rockthebells.com/black-maternal-health/
