We are deeply saddened to learn the cause of death of Olympic medalist and world champion sprinter, Tori Bowie.
Black women die at exceedingly higher rates due to pregnancy-related complications. We face a much higher risk of maternal death due to various reasons including chronic stress and implicit bias from health care providers. There is so much work to be done to properly protect and advocate for Black women's health.We send continued love and condolences to Tori Bowie's family. 📷#BETRemembers #BlackWomen #Mortality
Ajike Owens’ children were playing in a field near an apartment complex when a white woman yelled racial slurs at them and said to get off her land.
The children left behind an iPad which she stole. When one of the children came back to retrieve it she threw it at him and hit him with it.
Owens knocked on the woman’s door and without even opening it she shot through the door, killing Ms. Owens.
Today Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene called for more mental hospitals and drug rehab centers to be funded by the federal and state governments.
I find it a bit strange that she’s making these calls after being just one of 20 members of Congress who voted against the bipartisan ‘Restoring Hope for Mental Health and Well-Being Act’ that would bolster access to crisis care, provide millions of dollars in grants for community mental health services, and reauthorize making high-quality housing and services available that would be dedicated to substance abuse recovery.
The bill passed the House 402 - 20 and MTG was one who voted against it.
Why?
What should be done about mental health problems in America? I’d love to hear your opinions.
Cheers to the honorees!! 🥂✨🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽✨
