I'm a Black mama who almost died during childbirth when my daughter was born 9 weeks early. She spent the next 6 weeks in the NICU.

#Nurses are uniquely positioned to promote #birthequity and ensure that Black mothers in their care are listened to and respected. For #BMHW23 , learn how nurses are leading the charge: ow.ly/2OrB50NHeHc Via American Nurse
Thank you for birthing and raising the future of humanity. Let us all work together to make birthing safer for Black mothers.

Babies love their midwives. More Black babies should know what it is to be loved and cherished by a village from the day they were born.
