💫🌟Black Maternal Health MATTERS!🌟💫
Did you know that Black women are more likely to experience traumatic births, birth-related injuries, and complications during delivery? Our babies are also more likely to suffer injury at birth.
Far too often, mothers and babies lose their lives during childbirth—and it’s something we must confront.
When we talk about systemic racism, we have to be honest and upfront about how it continues to impact the mothers and families we care for every single day.
It’s time to change the conversation around Black health—especially Black maternal health. We have to be advocates, pushing for change across systems so Black families can have a healthier start and a better quality of life.
I’m so honored to recognize and uplift Black Maternal Health Week.
But more than that—we have work to do.💪🏾🤞🏿❤️
