About Us
Taking Up Spaces Global (TUSSGlobal) is a purpose-led nonprofit rooted in faith, healing, and empowerment. Inspired by our founder Lillian’s 8-year journey through marriage, career uncertainty, financial rebuilding, chronic health challenges, infertility, postpartum trauma, and 74 days in the NICU with her miracle baby — our mission is to hold space for women navigating similar valleys while still daring to dream big.
We exist to support women — especially Black and African women — who are walking through the deeply personal and often silent struggles of (in)fertility, high-risk pregnancy, NICU parenting, maternal mental health, and postpartum recovery, while also balancing the demands of work, faith, identity, and ambition.
Black women in the U.S. are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women.
(CDC, 2023) 1 in 10 Nigerian women die of child birth (Eden Wellness, 2024)
These statistics are not just numbers to us — they are lived experiences. They are our stories, and the stories of too many others who feel unseen in the systems that were never built with us in mind.
At TUSSGlobal, we are building a sanctuary for women ready to not just survive their hardest seasons — but to take up space and dominate in that space: emotionally, spiritually, and professionally.
We do this through:
Storytelling that brings healing and connection
Resources & digital tools that offer clarity and confidence
Soft hustle empowerment that turns lived experience into purpose and income
Faith-centered community that reminds women they are never alone
Whether you’re in the waiting room of life or fertility, in the quiet halls of a NICU, or navigating the tender space of postpartum identity rebuilding, you belong here.
This is your reminder that you can rise, take up space, and become healed, hopeful, and whole — all at once.
Our Pillars of Impact
We support all women—whether you're navigating infertility, postpartum trauma, NICU parenting, or simply seeking emotional, physical, or mental wellness before entering any of these life stages.
Our resources include:
Guided journals & mental health check-ins
Wellness & reproductive health education
Therapy fund referrals and support groups
Preventive care education for women who want to protect their wombs, regulate their cycles, or heal generational trauma before pregnancy or marriage
This space is open to every woman—whether you're waiting, healing, or just getting started.
We believe your story is a strategy.
We platform real, raw stories of women overcoming odds and finding joy again, while also advocating for:
Maternal health equity for Black and African women
Awareness of gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, NICU outcomes
Early education on fertility and high-risk pregnancy risks
Culturally safe birth and postpartum care for underserved communities
Through storytelling, we turn silence into strength and experiences into impact.
Because healing doesn’t cancel ambition.
We help women monetize their stories, talents, and lived experiences through:
Digital toolkits & soft hustle workbooks
Faith-aligned entrepreneurship workshops
Income strategies for NICU moms, stay-at-home moms, and women rebuilding after trauma
Pathways for women (pregnant or not) who want to rebuild or reignite their purpose
Whether you’re starting over or starting fresh, we’ll help you show up strong.
Healing happens in sacred spaces.
We offer:
Monthly prayer circles
Devotionals and scripture-based journaling
Faith and fertility meetups
A supportive online sisterhood across WhatsApp, Substack, and social channels
You don’t have to walk this road alone. We are building a global community where faith fuels healing, and healing fuels purpose.
