Ebony Ford is a native of Baltimore, Maryland, dedicated wife to gospel recording artist Ryan Vincent Ford, mother to Reign Victoria and Roman Vaughn, a two-time HELLP syndrome and preeclampsia survivor, NICU mom, maternal health advocate, and the founder of Miracle Mamas. After five years of infertility and loss, Ebony became pregnant with her daughter, Reign Victoria. At just 26 weeks, Ebony was diagnosed with sudden-onset severe preeclampsia, HELLP syndrome, and pulmonary edema while on vacation. She was rushed into an emergency C-section under general anesthesia and spent the following days fighting for her life in the ICU.

​

Reign was born weighing only 1 lb 15 oz and spent 80 days in the NICU battling lung collapses, infections, and severe respiratory distress. She went on to be hospitalized 14 times within her first 18 months of life due to lung issues. Despite chronic lung disease and an autism diagnosis, she has continued to defy the odds and is now thriving in elementary school.

​

In 2019, Ebony and Reign served as National Ambassadors for March of Dimes, starring in print and commercial ads for the “It’s Not Fine” campaign, which brought national attention to the realities of maternal and infant health disparities. In 2020, Ebony launched the Miracle Mamas Club, which became Miracle Mamas LLC in 2021. Since then, the organization has supported over 160 families through peer support groups, NICU & PICU mentoring, funeral planning, meal and transportation assistance, and has helped structure and run support groups in four hospitals. In 2022, Ebony was elected to the Maryland Maternal Mortality Review Board as well as the Johns Hopkins PaTH Moms Advisory Council where she still serves tirelessly to ensure that Maryland residents have the births that they deserve, and families get the closure that they deserve.

​

In 2023, Ebony gave birth to her son Roman at 31 weeks after developing severe preeclampsia for a second time. His growth had been significantly impacted by intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), but with early intervention and NICU care, he too is now thriving.

​

Ebony’s platform now exists to uplift mothers navigating birth trauma, NICU journeys, and special needs parenting—reminding them through every challenge that: You too can reign.
