About the event
Black women in the U.S. are disproportionately affected by maternal health disparities, but the fight for change is stronger than ever. Join us for a powerful panel discussion in partnership with Melinated Moms as we explore the urgent issues surrounding Black maternal health.
This conversation will highlight the systemic inequities in maternal care, the role of public policy in shaping health outcomes, and the importance of including both parents in the journey to better maternal health. Through multimedia storytelling, expert insights, and real-life experiences, we’ll bridge the impact of maternal mortality, morbidity, and advocacy within Black and Brown communities.
Gain educational tools, learn how to activate long-term advocacy, and engage with BIPOC professionals whose personal and professional journeys intersect with parenthood. This is more than a discussion—it’s a call to action.
