WASHINGTON, April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The best day of your life shouldn't be the most fearful. Women like me, Abby Phillips, Elain Welteroth, and others know what it means to manifest the life we've always dreamed of. But when it comes to being a mom, income doesn't matter. For Black and Brown women, our greatest dream can often be our worst nightmare because, regardless of our station, when it comes to healthy births for mothers and infants, the statistics are staggering: Black women are three times as likely to die from pregnancy-related causes as are White women.

Key Points: 
  • You see, for me and many other Black women, maternal health and pregnancy are bittersweet.
  • For Black women, whether they are from the inner city or highly educated with high net worths, maternal health is the great equalizer beyond income.
  • Organizations such as Health and Human Services, the Center for Disease Control, and the National Institute of Health, Health Resources, and Services Administration have much work to do.
  • Continued investment in maternal health, addressing inequalities, and ensuring that all women have resources are easy fixes.
