[The Motherhood Group @MotherhoodGroup]

Today is the third day of Black Maternal Mental Health Week #BMMHW21 and we'll be speaking of the role of the community and how this positively or negatively impacts black mothers, our mental health, and how services can integrate with the community for better outcomes.

[The Motherhood Group @MotherhoodGroup]

Yesterday we spoke about Trust.

@sandeeigwe : Will there ever be trust?
@_MarsLord : Yes, I think there will - I don’t think it will be a quick fix, or a major shift into trust. I know there are midwives + doctors that are working to confront their own implicit bias. #BMMHW21

In today’s @fivexmore petition debate, I told the story of my own pregnancy.

Too often, Black women are treated as the problem.

But we could be the solution if you would just listen to us, if you would just respect us, if you would just care for us #BlackMaternalHealthDebate
