Black women are dying in the US during their matrescence. Being deeply moved by the work of @OsopePatrisse, Kamala Harris, Alexandra Sacks, M.D., Miriam Zoila Pérez, I wrote some thoughts to join the conversation around how #matrescence can expand to discuss racism. tinyurl.com/y74g9cnq

"His birth was officially when I learned that labor, delivery, and motherhood were nothing like they appear to be in the movies." buff.ly/2Xqf9yx

That motherhood penalty is one reason .She launched the training and support group Pros and Babes. buff.ly/2Zt1t8v

"Any form of discrimination is unjust and unfair to whoever is involved. Everyone is created equal; therefore, the natural and wonderful reality of pregnancy should not cause a woman to be treated differently." buff.ly/2Zt1KIz

"Sometimes we need someone to assure us that things are going to be O.K. Other times what we really need to hear is that in that moment, they’re not supposed to be." buff.ly/2XsJmwW

"I have an anxiety disorder, so I feel stress and everyday pressure to a very intense degree." buff.ly/2WSZ2KK

Until very recently CDC didn’t reliably track and report maternal mortality Doing so laid racism bare, compelling clinicians/administrators/white people to begin acknowledging & addressing racism in medicine. CDC does not currently report/track police violence. Should they? 🤔

"It's a condition many women experience after having a baby and it can feel debilitating without proper treatment." buff.ly/2WVtpjN

“Less whine, more wine.” But if all parents had that kind of support, then maybe “wine mom” wouldn’t be such a loaded term—and moms could enjoy the occasional glass of wine in peace." buff.ly/3d3ZuLV

"For those living with or caring for someone with severe autism, those challenges can be exponentially more difficult." buff.ly/3gfuvON

I wrote this piece 3 years ago as an MS1 at Harvard Medical School but was too scared to share it. I hope this reverberates across the internet. Enough is enough. "A Memoir on Race and Inclusion at Harvard Medical School: We must do better" link.medium.com/BIco8ARQm7

Alexandra Sacks, M.D. Pls retweet: With the Black Maternal Mortality Crisis we NEED to listen to the experiences of Black women. If you are a 18+ Black mother who gave birth from 2012-2018 who felt at risk while giving birth you qualify for my study: tinyurl.com/BlackWomenLive…
