In honor of #BlackMaternalHealthWeek, our own Machan Carter (and mother-to-be) has advice on how Black mothers, parents, and pregnant people can raise their voices and be outspoken advocates for their health and the health of our babies. Considering that the U.S. has one of the highest maternal mortality rates among other developed countries, it's important to be proactive in maintaining good health. Check out her advice, and feel free to share yours in the comments.
