I had the pleasure of attending a powerful Black Lives Matter conference this weekend, focused on black maternal health. It left me feeling angry and sad at first, then empowered and also grateful for this organization. I spent the day listening, learning and realizing how much more education on black maternal health is still needed. 80% of maternal deaths could have been prevented. With the US having the highest rate of maternal deaths. This is so sad and so unnecessary. These things should not be happening anymore. This is your sign to educate yourself more and better support your black and brown community. I encourage you to attend one of these conferences and learn the facts of what is really happening.
Thank you for organizing this meeting and helping to educate and inspire others. Thank you for grounding us before and after this powerful event and for taking a picture with and 🥰 Thank to all of the speakers and sponsors! I am so grateful for the programs and groups you have created to help educate parents and health care professionals. and TeamBirth! I appreciate you!
