The Full Story
We Were Born to Ignite the Light Within
​
In 2017, Ricsyhelle Davis and Rhonda G. Brent founded I AM 1112 with a simple but powerful belief that when people have information, they can change their lives. For years, we showed up in Los Angeles County. We fed families, refreshed the homeless, put backpacks in the hands of children, hosted financial literacy events, gathered women for healing, and built something rare. We are an organization that showed up because these were our people, and their needs were our calling. Then we uncovered something that broke our hearts and moved our feet at the same time.
​
The disproportionate care amongst races in maternal health was not a distant issue, it was happening in our own neighborhoods, on our own streets, to women we knew. Support existed. Benefits were funded. But the families who needed them most had never been told they were available. That was the moment everything shifted. Because awareness had always been our greatest gift to this community. Now it was needed most right here, in the birthing room, in the postpartum window, in the lives of mothers who deserved so much more than silence. Today, I AM Birthing Support Circle is a full-spectrum maternal wellness organization offering free awareness, integrated care, and a full circle of support from your very first call through long after your baby arrives. We welcome families on Medi-Cal, private insurance, and private pay.... because, every mother deserves to be held.

I AM here. I AM held. I AM whole.

Vision
Our Vision
​
A world where every person — regardless of race, zip code, or circumstance — has access to the information they need to transform their lives. At I AM 1112, awareness is not a department. It is who we are. It lives in every project we touch, every community we enter, every room we stand in. From financial literacy to food equity, from community healing to maternal wellness — we show up with information as our greatest offering, because we have always believed that an informed community is an empowered one. Our vision for maternal health is simply an extension of that same calling — closing the gap between the services that exist and the mothers who deserve them, one family at a time, one conversation at a time, one circle at a time. We are not just changing outcomes in the birthing room. We are building a community that knows its worth, understands its rights, and refuses to be left without the care it was always entitled to.
I AM here. I AM held. I AM whole.
