I know you’ve seen this statistic so much this week. I feel compelled to use this space to acknowledge that, but invite you to faith and not fear.
Black women are still 3 to 4 times more likely…that is heavy, but it’s a heavy truth. What also is true is that you have power. You CAN be heard and although it’s not easy which is unfortunate, I want you to be educated, aware, and prayerful.
I cannot promise this will make everything go perfectly, but it empowers you in a way that passivity will not.
This is a deeply rooted systemic issue, and it will take time but I am hopeful. I want you to be hopeful as well.
And while that reality is heavy, fear is not the answer, being informed, supported, and empowered is.
In this season of my life, I am walking boldly in my calling to serve, educate, and stand in the gap for women and families. My prayer is that every woman I encounter, and every family I support feels seen, heard, and equipped to advocate for herself and her baby.
You deserve safe, supported, and respectful care before, during, and after birth.
To the midwives, doulas, OBGYNs, birth workers, and advocates, thank you. Your work matters. Your voices matter. And the change you are fighting for does not go unnoticed.
Let’s continue to shift the narrative.
Let’s replace fear with knowledge.
Let’s make sure no woman walks this journey alone.
