@MarcEverettHill Wow! Another move to Minneapolis! Best wishes, Marc! Maybe a return visit to Nashville is somewhere in the near future.

Just got text from a former Nashville Strong Babies participant. AM text said she and her 4 year old son are about to be homeless in 6 days (current lease ends and no where to go). PM text after talking to colleagues at Metro Office of Homelessness Services...found a place!😀

@RJEpiOBWarrior @NICHQ @HRSAgov @TheNavig80r @HS_TASC @CulturalRigor Appreciate you and your genius @RJEpiOBWarrior: Got your message (been under the weather thanks to my little one). I'm working on it now. My little sister is 4 mo pregnant. We demand TN do better for her and all of us.

The last day of #BMHW23 and I spent the afternoon talking with @NICHQ Champion Kenn Harris, about how to get @RJEpiOBWarrior to shift the mindset of MCH systems in Nashville. The @HRSAgov, @NICHQ Healthy Start Technical Assistance Request is on its way...

@kennysmoov Kenny Hook Me Up. Holla at ya girl! I'm 18 months over due for a date night...her name is Jordyn

@CharlaneOliver What will it take to replace the "thinking" TN elected representatives who choose not to represent the majority of TN voters who want their children, grandchildren, church children, etc. to live without fear of being shot and killed at school?

[DYuanna Allen @DYuannaA]

@HealthyFreeTN @SenatorLamar WOW! You'd think that the now sunset "Fetal Assault" consideration ended when we recognized that blaming birthing people for birthing outcomes was WRONG! If we really care about birthing people, put accountability where it belongs: Social Determinants

[DYuanna Allen @DYuannaA]

@doccrearperry @monicarsimpson @TIME WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! Come thru #reproductivejustice Champion! Yep, @TIME, don't miss this moment to fully recognize this movement.

[DYuanna Allen @DYuannaA]

@Lilblackbabies I'm literally slapping myself in the face. Genius!
I needed this 12 months ago. LOL!

[DYuanna Allen @DYuannaA]

My morning read. What a fantastic way to close out #BMHW23 in Nashville. Indigo credits @NashvilleHealth for supporting her. Please read & show her some love. Her food is DELICIOUS!

Happening now at Lentz - Healthy Start staff invite all health department staff to watch recording of Dr. Conner's powerhouse grand rounds presentation. Waking up is required; popcorn is optional. #BMHW23, @HRSAgov, #HRSAhelpsmoms

[DYuanna Allen @DYuannaA]

@SenatorLamar YES!!! Thank you @SenatorLamar so much for passing SB394 that establishes the Doula Advisory Committee in TN. #BMHW23 in action! Every TN mom deserves a doula! @NashvilleHealth @HRSAgov #TheDoulaDifference, #HRSAhelpsmoms

[DYuanna Allen @DYuannaA]

@NashvilleHealth: Metro Health Doula partners make a difference with Nashville moms: 100% of doula supported #NashvilleStrongBabies moms breastfed their babies in March 2023❤️

“As a Black mother, I cannot buy or educate my way out of dying at 3 to 4 times the rate of a white woman in the U.S. The inequity in maternal mortality rates persists regardless of our income or education status. Racism is the risk factor." @qyard08 @blkmamasmatter #BMHW23

[DYuanna Allen @DYuannaA]

@RJEpiOBWarrior @ROOTTRJ @Village_Healing @PPFA @LaDeiaJoyce I totally need to check this out. Gave birth 18 months ago...I got a story to tell about my experience with obstetric racism and violence as well "learned" and " well resourced" as we were...still didn't matter

[DYuanna Allen @DYuannaA]

@MyaLRoberson For all the nerds out there...I see you.

[DYuanna Allen @DYuannaA]

@SenatorLamar: I'm recovering from Strep throat and just heard your Great News. Sis, You matter to us and we got you and your #Littleone. Congratulations!!!

[DYuanna Allen @DYuannaA]

Celebrating Day 1 of Black Maternal Health Week with this read right here. Printed 4 copies (ya, I know...so old school) and watched my staff read it. There will be a discussion later this week. #BMHW23

[Karen A Scott MD MPH FACOG @RJEpiOBWarrior]

My @CulturalRigor team & I also invite you to read & share our latest open access pub in @AnnFamMed demonstrating the value & utility of community support persons as a prevention & mitigation strategy against obstetric racism, using The PREM-OB Scale™️
