THE APP

Guides, resources, and rituals for every stage of the fertility journey.

Articles, book recommendations, affirmations, meditations, and expert guidance — created for and centered on the experiences of people of color. An expanded app is coming soon. Available now on iOS and Android.

THE COMMUNITY

BUILT FOR US. WITH US.

Oshun Griot is more than a platform. We tell the stories that the fertility world has ignored — through film, books, events, and workshops that bring our community together in real spaces.

We partner with universities, health institutions, media organizations, and community groups to make sure our stories reach the people who need them most.

Because we are griots. Storytellers. Keepers of experiences that have gone untold for too long.

AS SEEN IN….

WHO WE ARE

Why We're Called Oshun Griot

Our name honors two sacred traditions: Oshun, the Yoruba orisha of fertility, love, and sweet waters, and the griot, the West African storyteller and keeper of communal memory. Together, they reflect our mission: to protect our stories, reclaim our voices, and make room for healing.

What We Believe

Our stories are sacred. Softness is strength. Care that doesn't see us is not care at all.

Oshun Griot was founded by Reniqua Allen-Lamphere, PhD, a journalist, documentary filmmaker, and author, after four rounds of IVF and years of navigating an infertility system that wasn't built for her. Her book, Fertility Noir, about Black families and infertility, will be released by Penguin Random House in 2028. Her film, Infertile Ground, about the climate crisis and fertility, has been funded by Black Public Media, The Redford Center, and the Economic Hardship Reporting Project and is in development for public television.

She looked for care that reflected her reality. She couldn't find it. So she built it.

What People are Saying…

“Oshun Griot makes me feel seen. I love having access to information about various aspects of the fertility journey that is centered around my experience as a woman of color. Functional resources, like the step-by-step guides and doctor directory, provide a roadmap for this journey and the mental health and culturally relevant content bring me relief and solace, helping me to process and understand my feelings throughout this experience.”
