Charles S. Johnson IV Instagram – Repost from @marchofdimes • “I’m still here fighting,” Charles says. “Fighting to make sure that other dads don’t have to have the conversations with their sons that I’ve had to have with mine.” After losing his wife to preventable birth complications, Charles has turned his grief into action and advocacy to fight for #healthequity in maternal health care. Today is #GriefAwarenessDay, and losing a loved one to pregnancy and birth complications is unfortunately a common experience for many parents. And too many struggle in silence. How can you help honor #GriefAwarenessDay? 💜 Raise awareness by sharing your own story. 💜 Share words of support in the comments for families grieving. 💜 Take action to end preventable maternal health risks and deaths, which disproportionately impacts families of color. #linkinbio
