Maternal Mortality and Black Women: #LetsTalkAboutSolutions

It's Women's History Month and I want to take this opportunity to have a candid discussion about a challenging topic, but from the vantage point of solutions! Do you know that in terms of maternal mortality, Black women are 3 to 4X more likely to die than white women when giving birth or shortly after? Do you know that there are readily available solutions to this problem that could help Black women survive this egregious problem? I hope you will take time to watch and share this video widely so that people can understand what is happening, but also recognize that there are real solutions. After watching,let me know if you have questions/thoughts but most importantly, #LetsTalkAboutSolutions #WomensHistoryMonth #MaternalMortalityAndBlackWomen #LovingBlackWomenIntoHealthyBirths #CreatingPositveWomensHistory for Black women #Doulasupport #Midwifery
