Embracing Black Joy in Surrogacy

About This Episode

We are thrilled to introduce Alexandria Grant-Presser, one of our incredible intended parents. Alexandria is currently on her first surrogacy journey with Cheri, a surrogate she had the unique experience of matching with over Instagram.

Living in the DMV area, Alexandria has been navigating this deeply personal journey while embracing and advocating for the importance of Black Joy in surrogacy.

Key Discussion Points

• What happens when you Google "surrogacy" and see almost no representation of people of color — and why that matters
• How Alexandria matched with her surrogate Cheri through Instagram and knew she was the right fit
• The unique challenges and considerations Black intended parents face in the surrogacy world
• The importance of finding the right match and maintaining a sense of control in a process where you lose a lot of it
• Advocating for joy, representation, and community throughout the surrogacy journey
