Calling Devs: Help Build Mothrly — A Digital Village for Mothers

Hi Devs,

I’m a birthworker, grief guide, and mother building "Mothrly," a wellness and community platform designed to support mothers, especially Black and Brown mothers, through postpartum, identity shifts, grief, and healing.

After experiencing pregnancy loss, familial estrangement, and the passing of my grandmother (who mothered me), I realized something deeply: mothers are often left to mother alone. Mothrly was born from that ache—and that vision.

🌱 What I'm Building...
"Mothrly" is a sacred digital space where mothers can:

  • Connect with a supportive community
  • Access healing resources & care providers
  • Reclaim their identity & wholeness
  • Share stories, rituals, and wisdom

Built for mobile-first, rooted in BIPOC-centered care, and expanding into in-person retreats and postpartum sanctuaries.

🔧 Who I'm Calling In**
I’m looking to co-create with:

**Frontend devs- (React Native, Flutter, etc.)
**Backend devs- (Firebase, Node.js, etc.)
**Designers- (UX/UI with a heart for healing work)

I'm building this from the ground up and open to:

  • Volunteers (credited in platform + pitch deck)
  • Long-term collaborators
  • Folks who want to grow something purpose-led

✨ What I Offer**

  • A bold, meaningful mission
  • Portfolio-ready experience with real-world impact
  • The chance to shape a sacred space for generations of mothers

Eventually, I plan to fund the project through grants and accelerator programs (equity/stipend will follow). For now, we move with spirit, strategy, and shared values.

💌 Interested?
Drop a comment, DM me here, or email me at MsMyraBarnes@gmail.com.

Let’s build something beautiful—together. ✨
