I am grateful that I am alive to share my story and shed light on the importance of Black maternal health. As many of you know, I had a near death experience after giving birth to Sadie & Stokely. I lost 75% of my blood supply as I hemorrhaged several hours after giving birth. I was intubated and stayed in the ICU for 36 hours shortly after giving birth. You can read my full story www.EllenRuckerSellers.com But by God’s grace, my three wonderful black female doctors, and my husband that I am here to tell my story. 🙏🏾 It is a stark reality that Black women are three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications compared to white women. This disparity is not due to genetics or other inherent factors, but rather a result of systemic racism and the lack of proper medical care and attention given to Black mothers. So many of the deaths are preventable! I am forever dedicated to amplifying this message for Black mothers, so that no more lives are lost due to preventable complications. I asked these three women, my doctors to pray over me before they did my surgery, they did. That late evening they truly saved my life. Forever grateful to my doctors: Dr. Octavia Cannon Dr. Mala Freeman Dr. Sophia Paige Let’s keep the spotlight on Black Maternal Health throughout the year… we can save lives together. Please share your story in the comments. #BlackMaternalHealthWeek #BlackMamasMatter

Baltimore treated me well!🙏🏾🙏🏾. Next stop Philly… #TheMoment
Family members of Ricky Cobb II said Wednesday they filed a federal lawsuit against two Minnesota state troopers alleging the pair used excessive force and violated Cobb’s civil rights during a traffic stop last year that ended with one of the troopers shooting and killing Cobb. “No traffic stop should end deadly, ever. Everyone should be able to get home,” Cobb’s sister Octavia Ruffin told reporters Wednesday while flanked by attorneys, family and community members at the Hennepin County Government Center. Her brother, she added, “did nothing wrong” the night he was stopped.
Cobb Family files Federal Lawsuit against Minnesota State Troopers in Shooting. Bakari Sellers of Strom Law Firm, Sellers, Harry Daniels, of Georgia, and F. Clayton Tyler, of Minnesota, jointly filed the lawsuit two months after sending a letter to the state seeking $25 million for Cobb’s death. Strom Law Firm Attorney Bakari Sellers said the media and the police union were portraying Londregan as the victim of overzealous prosecution — but that Cobb was the victim in the traffic stop confrontation. We’ve seen everybody in this city act like Ricky Cobb II is not the victim in this case,” said national civil rights attorney Bakari Sellers. #civilrights #civilrightsattorney #stromlawfirm
