On MLK Day, I reflect on this image of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with Coretta Scott King and their daughter Yolanda — a reminder that movements are carried by families, and often by women whose strength is rarely named.

The dream Dr. King spoke of must also include a healthcare system where women are safe during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. For too many Black women, that dream has not yet been realized. Maternal health equity is civil rights work.

As a midwife, nurse, and advocate, I believe we honor Dr. King by transforming care — listening to women, confronting bias, and building systems that protect life with dignity and respect. The dream still lives, and so does the responsibility to make it real.

Thank you Tiffany Vassell, MS, RN for spreading love by donating several copies of your book, Preparation for a Hospital Birth, to Lucinda’s House. This is one of my favorite resources to share with families as they prepare for their birth journeys inside and outside of the hospital. We are so grateful for your generosity and commitment to empowering birthing people with knowledge.
