🙌🏻 Alexa Parra, BSN, BSPH, RN, who gave a 10-minute
#TED-like Talk titled, “Acknowledging Latina Diversity and Evaluating the Effects of Intersecting Identity on Afro-Latina Maternal Morbidity and Infant Birth Outcomes."
In the U.S., where
#maternalmorbidity and mortality rates are the highest of all developed nations, said Alexa, "Black and Brown women are .... 2 to 3 times more likely to have severe morbidity and mortality compared to their white counterparts .... This is not a biological problem, but it's rooted in
#systemicracism ….” Further, she noted, including
#AfroLatinas, like her, in
#maternalhealth research is critical for accurate representation and improved outcomes. Learn more,
