Talking #GivingBirthinAmerica w/ Christy Turlington Burns Jennie Joseph Every Mother Counts

Listening to Stacey Abrams and a power panel of women talking all things ‘Movement Building’ at Women Deliver “It’s the effort that matters, not the success”. Yes! #WD2023 #FanGirling

“I have a question: How often do you see strong images of Black and brown women? Pregnant women at that?”
Jennie Joseph, midwife and President of Commonsense Childbirth #WD2023

“Where is the evidence-based outrage?!” Jennie Joseph

Yes!!! Note to self: Ask this question in all my #womenshealth advocacy going forward.

#WD2023

Maternal health & midwives are major advocacy issues for me, & I was so inspired by stories from midwives, doulas & civil society at PUSH Campaign’s #WD2023
event. Every pregnant person deserves midwifery-led care, & every midwife deserves to be supported in their work!

So appreciative of the opportunity to discuss Black #maternalhealth with ⁦Melissa Murray (@ProfMMurray on Threads 🧵)⁩ and ⁦Kira Johnson⁩

We can’t deny how inextricably linked obstetrics is with #systemicracism 😑 We can and must be better

Cost of tuition and a lack of scholarships and other funding supports are leading financial barriers for aspiring midwives of color in the U.S.

We are excited to see this and other findings from our research with Jennie Joseph cited in a new U.S. GAO report.

Happy International Midwives Day 2023, and thank you EMC Every Mother Counts - 10 years of support for our #Midwifery model of care - we are so grateful! ♥️
