ASK OSHUN

Infertility support in your pocket.

A community-centered fertility support app in development for people of color, connecting you to trusted resources, culturally informed guidance, real stories, and people who understand.

Navigating infertility can feel isolating. Navigating it in systems that were not built for you can feel even harder.

Oshun is designed to bring support together in one place: practical answers, trusted providers, wellness resources, expert Q&As, real stories, and community.

Ask Oshun about diagnoses, fertility treatments, what questions to ask your doctor, how to advocate for yourself, or where to turn next. You can also explore stories, articles, expert guidance, and culturally informed resources created for people navigating infertility.

An early version is available now, with expanded community and connection features coming soon.

She is not a doctor. She is a guide — built to help you feel more informed, supported, and connected.

Navigating infertility is hard enough. Navigating it in systems that weren't built for you is something else entirely.

Ask Oshun about diagnoses, treatments, what questions to bring to your doctor, or how to find a provider who actually gets it. She is not a doctor. But she gets it in a way most doctors don't.

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.

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.
