In South Indian languages, “kutty” translates to infant or child & is a term of endearment. Yet, OKC is not only here for your kutty but also the kutty hopes, desires, & wishes that you have as new parents.

The short form, OK Community, signifies our commitment to the sexual & reproductive wellbeing or “okay-ness” of everyone.

Racialized individuals can feel isolated & helpless as a result of immigration, acculturation, & individualization. These feelings are magnified when dealing with sexual & reproductive health.

This is where we come in!

Oru Kutty (pronouned: koo-tee) Community, meaning “A Little Community”, aims to be an informed & reliable source of education, support, & comfort.

While we say it takes a village to raise a child, we forget that it also takes a village to support new parents. We aim to be a part of everyone’s kutty community! OKC reflects a home away from home sentiment that we hope to establish with all clientele.

We strive to model the conversations that should take place around sexuality, reproduction, & parenthood. We're here to support you from before conception and beyond childbirth.
