Why Is There A Rule Against Braids for A Child At School?

The questions that we must ask are: 1) What is wrong with these grown people? 2) Why does representation of African/Black heritage offend anyone, so much so that they have a rule against it? 3) What is going on in the minds of adults who have punished a child for having his hair in braids at school? #naturaliscoolenough any and everywhere! <a href="https://www.bet.com/news/national/2021/04/18/texas-school-district-lawsuit-suspending-boy-braided-hair.html">

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

An Informative Webinar for All, Including Naturalistas: The Digital Divide During Covid-19

Today, check out my webinar-- Wednesday, September 23 at 1:00 PM EST I will explore a long-standing concern, the digital divide, which has been magnified during COVID-19. Registration is free and here: Lack of digital inclusion primarily impacts low income, racial/ethnic emerging majorities, rural communities, the elderly and other marginalized groups. After discussing key issues such as how #COVID-19 #lockdown policies impact low-income homes without computers and broadband access, language and literacy issues, #digitalhealth illiteracy, and geographic isolation, I will propose potential solutions including the need for technologically adept community health workers, #digitalempathy, #e-health, #telehealth and more. I hope you will join me for this important discussion!
