I’m hoping this episode will bring validation, ease and comfort to black women who are or have suffered from the effects of postpartum. The alarming statistics of maternal health care in the African American community is a result of systemic racism. Jackie and I shared the importance of normalizing these types of conversations while also discussing signs, symptoms and approaches when showing up in these difficult moments for the women experiencing these challenges, in the end my goal is to educate and inform to normalize these types of conversations while offering resources to support and sustain an emotional healthy lifestyle.
