Alicia Hurtt has a rich background and heritage that has played a significant role in shaping her into the woman she is today. Her Trinidadian and Barbadian roots have instilled in her a deep appreciation for family, community, and faith.
Growing up in Landover, Maryland, Alicia was surrounded by a close-knit family who instilled in her the values of hard work, determination, and perseverance. Her parents, both immigrants from Trinidad & Tobago, taught her the importance of education and encouraged her to pursue her dreams with passion and dedication.
As a young woman, Alicia faced many challenges, including navigating her identity as a Black woman in America and overcoming the obstacles that come with being a first-generation college student. But through it all, she remained committed to her goals and never lost sight of her vision for the future.
Today, Alicia is a successful businesswoman, mother, and community leader who is passionate about helping others achieve their dreams. She draws on her rich background and experiences to provide her clients with exceptional service and guidance as they navigate the complex world of real estate.
However, there is another aspect to Alicia's life that has been a true test of faith and perseverance: her journey to become a mother. Alicia's desire to have a child started early in her adulthood, and she thought that it would be a straightforward process. However, after several years of trying, Alicia and her husband realized that it wasn't going to be as easy as they had hoped.
Alicia's journey to motherhood was filled with highs and lows. She tried various methods to conceive, both natural and with the help of medical professionals. There were moments of excitement when she thought she was pregnant, only to be followed by disappointment and heartbreak when the test results were negative.
Despite the challenges, Alicia remained steadfast in her faith and determination to become a mother. She leaned on her relationship with God and found solace in the support of her loved ones. Alicia also did a lot of self-reflection during this time, examining her own fears and doubts about motherhood.
Finally, after years of trying, Alicia was blessed with a beautiful baby girl. The journey to motherhood wasn't easy, but it taught Alicia many valuable lessons about patience, faith, and resilience.
Now, Alicia is sharing her story with others through her book, which offers a candid look into the emotional rollercoaster of trying to conceive a child. Her hope is that her story will provide comfort and inspiration to other women who are on a similar journey. Alicia believes that with faith, determination, and a strong support system, anything is possible.
Alicia Hurtt is the founder and visionary of I See My Baby Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to supporting women and families through holistic care, advocacy, and education. Born into a vibrant family with roots in Trinidad and Barbados, Alicia’s work is deeply influenced by her cultural heritage, faith, and lived experience as a wife and mother of four.
After navigating her own journey with infertility and maternal health challenges, Alicia felt called to create safe, supportive spaces where women can heal, learn, and thrive. She is a certified doula, life coach specializing in infertility, and a non-denominational minister, blending professional expertise with compassion and community-centered solutions.
In 2025, Alicia will open the first I See My Baby Women’s Wellness Center in Bainbridge, Georgia, offering wraparound services to address maternal health disparities and housing stability. As an author of over 30 books and courses, Alicia empowers women to break silence, reclaim hope, and build lasting legacies for their families and communities.
