Happy Negro History Month ✊🏾🥳

May our rich ancestral history of the past continue to inspire our future generations of tomorrow 😌🙏🏾🧡

[The Rev. Dr. Auntie Michelle She/Her @iamn0tthe1]

Mary Lou Irving (1883-1939) was one of the first midwives to be licensed in the City of Savannah and Georgia. A lifelong resident of Yamacraw village, she worked as a nurse and midwife for 21 years delivering “half the babies in Yamacraw” according to neighbors and descendants.

Margaret Charles Smith was educated in rural Alabama, where she acquired a fifth-grade education by attending school three months out of the year it was held. She learned her calling by becoming an apprentice to an older midwife and attending training courses. #Blackhistory

In 1964, Margaret (Hayes) Jordan made Georgetown history, becoming the first African American student to graduate with a BSN from the School of Nursing.

Just a few points I made during my lecture today titled, The Importance of Black Midwifery: Then and Now.

The erasure of the Black Traditional Midwife was a calculated and strategic effort between White male obstetricians and White female public health nurses.

In my recently published post with MCH Leads, I talk about my summer practicum experience with @ExpectingJustSF and its relevance to Maternal and Child Health (MCH) core competency 11: working with communities and systems. https://t.co/5bmE6vRhJQ

Today is #MomsEqualPayDay! Today and every day mamas deserve the financial support & security they need in order to care for themselves and their children! Black mamas & PI mamas both make significantly less than white dads. A change to these wage gaps is past due!
