Listen To Black Mothers
Listen to Black Mothers is a call-to-action campaign to raise awareness about the horrifying Black maternal morbidity and mortality rates in the Unites States, specifically Louisiana and Texas (my home states). My mission, my passion and my ultimate goal is to improve maternal health outcomes and dismantle maternal health disparities.

Louisiana
In Louisiana, four black mothers die for every white mother and two black babies die for every one white baby. Louisiana’s maternal mortality rate also exceeds the national average as Louisiana ranks 47th out of 48 states. Louisiana also has the fifth highest infant mortality rate in the United States.

Texas
More than 700 women die each year in the U.S. from pregnancy-related complications up to one year after giving birth. In Texas, approximately 4 out of 5 of these deaths are preventable.
