Trinity Brown

In October 2017, Trinity Brown was 36 weeks pregnant and filled with anticipation for the arrival of her baby girl. When she couldn't feel her baby moving, she went to the doctor — and received the devastating news that her daughter, Noel Alexandria, no longer had a heartbeat.

In the depths of unimaginable grief, Trinity made a promise: that her daughter's life would not be in vain. Rather than letting the pain consume her, she channeled her grief into a mission that would help thousands of families facing the same silent tragedy.

In the summer of 2018, Trinity founded the Noel Alexandria Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness and breaking the silence on pregnancy and infant loss. What began as one mother's grief has grown into a comprehensive support system serving families across California and beyond.

Today, the foundation has served over 6,500 families, delivered hundreds of comfort kits to hospitals, hosted 9 annual Running with the Angels 5K events, and expanded into community behavioral health services. Trinity's advocacy has been recognized with the 2026 Kern County Remarkable Woman award, Women of Excellence honors, and the Beautiful Bakersfield Humanitarian Group Award.

"A mom that has experienced loss or multiple losses — letting their doctors know up front so that they are marked as high risk and so the questions and concerns that they have are really taken into consideration and that they're really being heard... 95 percent of our families have gone on to have healthy pregnancies, both mom and baby."
