Today is the first day of Black Maternal Health Week! #BMHW24 is an opportunity to shed light on the Black maternal mortality crisis and to elevate the voices of black women and birthing people on this issue. Black mothers have invaluable insight through their lived experiences. Therefore, this week, join us in raising awareness on this issue by learning more about black maternal mortality and culturally aligned practices like black led doula care and midwifery.
