Bio:

Tinuke and Clotilde (Clo) are the co-founders of Five X More CIC, the UK’s leading organisation dedicated to improving Black maternal health. Founded in 2019 after MBRRACE data revealed Black women were five times more likely to die during pregnancy and childbirth than white women, Five X More has become a powerful force for systemic change.

In 2020, they launched a petition that gained more than 187,000 signatures and led to Black maternal health being debated in Parliament for the first time in history. Their work has since helped secure a landmark government commitment to set a target to end the disparity in maternal deaths for Black women.

More recently in 2025, they published the second Black Maternity Experiences Survey, the largest of its kind in the UK, capturing the voices of over 1100 Black women. The findings have been quoted in national reports and cited in Parliament, shaping policy recommendations at the highest level. Five X More also runs the secretariat for the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Black Maternal Health, ensuring Black women’s voices are represented in decision-making spaces.
Their relentless advocacy has contributed to the UK Government committing, for the first time, to set a target to end the disparity in maternal outcomes for Black women. Alongside their policy influence, Five X More has created practical tools such as the Five X More App, offering resources to empower women to advocate for themselves during pregnancy.
