Reflecting on Black Maternal Mental Health: Progress and Challenges
As a mother of three and founder of @MotherhoodGroup , I've witnessed both progress and persistent hurdles in Black maternal mental health. In my latest article for @CentreforMH , I dive deeper -
Despite increased awareness, alarming disparities persist. Black mothers still face higher risks, yet often receive less support. But there's hope - through initiatives like our Black Maternal Mental Health Week (happening now), we're driving change.
What's working? What needs urgent attention? And how can we ensure equitable care for all Black mothers?
Join me in this important conversation. Read the full article here: https://t.co/R1mf3NGdsJ

Is this latest CQC Review news? Or is it just what we and the thousands of families affected already know? @wesstreeting what is going to be done about it? #CQC#maternitysafety#birthinjury
“Maternity care simply isn’t at the level it should be”
Sobering reading but sadly it’s a story which corroborates my clients’ experiences. Women deserve better. #maternitycare#maternitysafety#patientsafety https://t.co/0u9Q59QFtf

Chloe’s pains were repeatedly dismissed, one midwife telling her to ‘live her life and go to Waitrose’. 2 days later Esme died. Another shocking example of mothers not being listened to with tragic consequences
When Chloe tragically lost her baby Esme in 2022, she recalls being ‘gaslighted’ by every medical professional. She now joins the call for an independent inquiry into the University Hospitals Sussex NHS Trust’s maternity ward. #BirthTraumaInquiry
