Several of the women before me, including my great grandmother Ellenora, endured the violence of the eugenics era through forced sterilization, their choices taken and their voices silenced.
These histories are not distant; they shape how care is experienced across generations. Black women reclaiming the technologies that have so often left us behind to build something better, creating not only change for ourselves but expanding what care can look like so that all women are seen, supported, and truly cared for."
— Jordan Williams, Founder of NORA
NORA was founded on a simple truth: the healthcare system has failed Black mothers. Medical mistrust, systemic racism, and gaps in care aren't just statistics, they are lived realities that cost lives.
NORA isn't a generic chatbot. It's a culturally competent companion, deeply integrated with EHR systems, completely free to patients, and designed from day one to close the gap, increase access in maternity desserts, and tackle the social demands of health.
