Listen here: When a Black pregnant woman expresses hurt/harm from YOUR attitude/behavior, do NOT recommend that she see a Black OBGYN b/c your instn practices inclusion. This is an EPIC fail. Who is teaching this in their DEI training? She told YOU abt YOU, not your Black peer.

As we continue to celebrate #bmhw22, we're crushing on Midwife Ebony Marcelle who was featured on the TODAY show yesterday. "Listen to Black women," she said. "We're out here. Listen to what we have to say." on.today.com/3JM6Yma #blackmidwives #blackmaternalhealth

So, I did a thing!! I created and published a journal for high achieving Black women in response to our unmet mental health care needs! 😭 Filled with psycho education, mood trackers, goal writing, and cognitive journaling prompts! Literally a dream come true!

Birthing individuals of color or the least likely to receive treatment. When one suffer we all eventually will. This is a Worldwide issue that certainly deserves more attention. Conversations around mental health in the Pre and Postpartum period should be mandatory not optional
