Quote: “In my vision for birth equity all Black birthing people and their infants not only survive childbirth, but they have mental health affirming pregnancies as well as postpartum recoveries. My work strives towards a stigma-free world in which Black parents feel safe enough to share their mental health challenges without fear of retribution. As a birth equity fellow, I aim to collaborate in reimagining maternal mental health services so Black birthing people, babies, and families can stay together and thrive.”
