This week is Black Maternal Health Week, and we want to help amplify the voices of Black women everywhere! The estimated national maternal mortality rate in the United States is about 17 per 100,000 live births for white women - but it is about 43 per 100,000 live births for women of color. It's time to increase awareness and improve the outcome of the many challenges that Black women face on their way to motherhood. 📸: kennobarbie #BlackMamasMatter #MaternalHealth #ReproductiveHealth #MedicalRacism #BlackLivesMatter #BlackMaternalHealth #BlackMaternalHealthWeek #NewMoms #Motherhood #Parenthood #MaternalHealthMatters #Postpartum #Pregnancy #BlackWomansHealth #ReproductiveJustice #BlackHealth #PinkStork #BlackMamas #BirthIsBeautiful #BirthIsPowerful
