There are many ways culturally congruent mental health support is crucial for Black birthing people. We're raising funds to provide mental health counseling for #BMATX clients. Help us make this happen! #mothersDayofGiving https://t.co/CuVX5Na55M
Black Mamas ATX is having a special fundraiser for Mother's Day! As we celebrate Mothers and motherhood, please support our work to help Black mothers survive and thrive through pregnancy and childbirth.

@ShantiFreedom I agree. Saying "Same" at the prospect of someone's deep loss can be seen as rude and unhelpful. Maybe it's a generational thing as it can feel trivializing. Well anyway, I was just making a suggestion as you may not have realized how you words came across. Do you though.
@byronface Simply saying "Same" does not display empathy to everyone. It could seem trivializing. You're saying you feel more for someone being asked what they mean than you do for someone expressing a deep loss? Okay.
Kelenne Blake-Fallon, ED of #BMATX, talks about why she loves Black Mamas ATX! Our organization was founded by Black women, for Black women & is led & staffed by Black women. The culturally congruent care we provide to the community is impactful because we ARE the community.
BMATX presents:
History of Black and Brown maternal healthcare in Austin: A timeline created by the Maternal Health Equity Collaborative (MHEC) and MEASURE.
