My family & I just got home from our Thanksgiving road trip☺️ We made it back safe 🙌🏾! When moms have their babies…we want to make it home safe. 4 yrs ago,I made it home alive but not safe. I’m still recovering from medical neglect in a maternity ward. #filmsthatmatter #Momnibus

#blackmaternalmortality is such a beast! 5 years ago, I was barely making it after delivering my daughter. I knew he took the pic, but the video popped up as a memory reminder on my husband’s phone today. I’m still at a loss on so many levels and we’re 5 years later. #momnibus
These statistics are tragic, unacceptable, and a clear call to action. More than ever, we must advance @RepAdams’ and my Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act, an evidence-based solution to eliminate preventable maternal mortality and save moms’ lives. usatoday.com/story/news/heal…

“Thank you #kevincostner that was very dramatic.” -#janechampion She could not have said it better. I am forever changed by the introduction of the award as well as the reality of a second nod and first win as a Director. Sitting still in this moment. #TheOscars

Woke up this morning with this on my heart. Know that He is enough and because of that you are enough.
Black Americans had the highest maternal mortality rate of any racial or ethnic group in the United States even before COVID-19. New @CDCgov data showed that this rate increased even more during the first year of the pandemic. We must pass the #Momnibus. cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/mat…

New @CDCgov data showed a nearly 20% increase in the U.S. maternal mortality rate during the first year of the pandemic. We must pass the #Momnibus now to save lives and advance birth equity during COVID-19 and beyond.
