Not only was I asked to share my IVF story, but also to introduce Vice President Kamala Harris ! Me, this HBCU alumna from NLV! Persons experiencing infertility, let’s continue to demand inequities in the system be addressed & let’s support our elected officials doing the work! #BlackMaternalHealthWeek
In honor of #BlackMaternalHealthWeek , Professor Alexis Dunn Amore shared her experiences and perspective as a clinician, researcher, and mom about how to improve outcomes for Black mothers and babies. Read about it here: bit.ly/3JiC8DM #blackmaternalhealthweek #BMHW24
This #BlackMaternalHealthWeek , I remember with great disgust, how Prince Harry failed to address Meghan Markle’s immediate concerns re suicidal ideation, instead forcing her to a concert.
He didn’t call a doctor, her mum, or even his own siblings or the Palace for help.…
I love to express my creativity in many ways, but I bet you didn't know that I can sew! This #BlackMaternalHealthWeek I'm launching Baby Yams, a limited series of baby quilts that I can't wait for you to see! Visit baby-yams.com & join the #BabyYamsFam ! 🤎
This #BlackMaternalHealthWeek was very special. I got to launch Baby-yams.com & I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and generosity. After just four days we sold out of the entire first batch of Abundance baby quilts!!!
A #BlackMaternalHealthWeek message from Mini Timmaraju and me:
Donald Trump has worsened the Black maternal health crisis. This November, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are on the ballot -- and so are our reproductive rights.
Black women are facing a maternal health crisis in America.

Black women are 3x more likely to die from pregnancy complications. Our health care system has consistently neglected and mistreated Black women. This #BlackMaternalHealthWeek , I'm advocating to dismantle systemic racism in health care and pass the Black Maternal Health Momnibus.
#BlackMaternalHealthWeek ended yesterday. Black mothers are 3x more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes, and they're the most at-risk group for maternal and pregnancy-related deaths.
We need action now to improve Black maternal healthcare in the U.S. ❤️
#ICYMI : Last week, #BlackMaternalHealthWeek reminded us to raise awareness and work towards equitable maternal healthcare for all mothers. 🚼 🍼

🔔We often see the statistics, but rarely hear the stories of the disparities Black women face around childbirth.
#BlackMaternalHealthWeek #WeChooseCare
President Biden & Vice President Harris are addressing the disparities Black mothers face, helping to ensure they no longer have to fight for quality care or fear for their lives before, during, or after pregnancy.

I had to set the record straight for my Republican colleagues on the Health Committee who claimed that #BlackMaternalHealthWeek would exclude people who identify as “pregnant individuals.” They were sorely mistaken. Thankful for the PA Black Maternal Health Caucus!

My first year in Congress, I spoke before Oversight Committee Democrats on our nation's Black birthing crisis. My experience mirrors countless others in St. Louis, Missouri, and nationwide whose pain and lives are not valued by our healthcare system. #BlackMaternalHealthWeek 🧵
Black Maternal Health Week serves as a reminder of the urgent need to prioritize equitable access to quality healthcare, and team Biden-Harris is tackling the Black maternal health crisis head-on. #BlackMaternalHealthWeek
In lieu of #blackmaternalhealthweek my article of my birth story was published in today’s paper. I’m simply in awe and so elated that my story is continuing to be read and the importance of advocacy for black women in childbirth is being highlighted and shared. 🥹
We are celebrating #blackmaternalhealthweek ! THANK YOU to PA Black Maternal Health Caucus members & chairs, @repginacurry @repmayes @morgan_cephas for honoring me! I am proud to work with such INSPIRING & MOTIVATED members!
