Thank you to my State Senator @clareoumou.bsky.social for sharing her dangerous birth experience and pushing for policy change. These "safety stories" are not anomalies, but a pattern of our healthcare systems failing Black women.

This week is Black Maternal Health Week — a time to raise awareness and take action on dangerous racial health gaps in childbirth. When I welcomed my son, Leo, last August, I experienced firsthand how dangerous birth can be for Black women.
