We mourn the death of Dr. Janell Green Smith, DNP, CNM, a respected South Carolina midwife, scholar, and advocate whose life and work reflected a deep commitment to respectful, evidence-based, and equitable care. She died at the age of 31 years old from childbirth complications, leaving behind her husband, Daiquan Smith, a newborn, and a family who loved her deeply.

The loss of a Black midwife and maternal health expert giving birth in the United States is both shocking and heartbreaking. Her death underscores a persistent and painful reality: Black birthing people face disproportionate risks in pregnancy and postpartum — regardless of education, income, or professional expertise.

We honor Dr. Green Smith’s life, her leadership, and her unwavering dedication to care. We extend our deepest condolences to her family and all those who were shaped by her work. NACPM remains committed to birth equity so that outcomes like this are no longer accepted as inevitable.

A GoFundMe has been set up in her honor for her family:
