Simbi Animashaun Receives Inaugural Wonder Mom Award

Simbi Animashaun will be honored with the inaugural Wonder Mom Award at the Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition of Georgia’s 48th Annual Meeting and Conference.

The Wonder Mom Award recognizes a Georgia mom who demonstrates the power of a mother’s inner strength to deal with the successes and challenges in life while exhibiting an interest in her community by empowering fellow moms through services that enrich mothers, children, and families.

Simbi Animashaun is a mom of 3, educator, published author, certified birth & bereavement doula, and maternal infant health advocate. She is also the founder of United By Loss Foundation, Inc. and Simmaculate Health & Wellness, LLC.

Simbi's Why

"Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.”

In 2018, I became a mother after experiencing a hemorrhagic stroke, years of infertility, perinatal loss, and depression. Since then, my life has changed. I am now living my life to its fullest. My three children are gifts from God! They keep me faithful, focused, and driven to be a positive change in my family and community. In 2020, I began my advocacy work by helping other mothers and birth givers who experienced perinatal loss. I provide birth and bereavement doula services, health and wellness products and services, perinatal loss comfort boxes, and grief support groups. I enjoy serving my children and the community!

“A source of inspiration”

Our Executive Director, Ky Lindberg, shares why Simbi embodies the qualities of a Wonder Mom:

“There is not a person that I can think of, that is more deserving to receive the inaugural HMHBGA Wonder Mom Award than Simbi Animashaun. She takes ‘momming’ to a whole new level, by being an amazing single parent to three children under the age of five, a full-time entrepreneur, with her work grounded in women’s health and wellness, as well as a source of inspiration and support for her community. Simbi fought through multiple miscarriages, a stroke, and other difficult professional and personal challenges to start her family. When her son was diagnosed with autism, she put her energy into educating herself about his condition and advocating for him to get the best care. But what I find even more inspiring, is that when the demands of being a single parent and risks of the COVID pandemic forced her out of her teaching career, she reinvented herself to become a thriving educator, activist, and mompreneur. Simbi is an incredible woman and I am pleased to join the community in recognizing her this year.”
