Hey, love. We need you. Black women in America have some of the highest rates of fatal victimhood during childbirth. Through Mother Health International’s collaboration with a traditional birth center in Uganda, after tens of thousands of births, their midwives haven’t lost a single mother. This is just one example of a safe haven run by midwives, but this is where we’re going next… It’s time to go back. To learn. To remember. To protect ourselves from systems that won’t. Learn more at the links in my bio, and at @sumistouch *Please DM me a copy of your ticket purchase confirmation page, along with your mailing address so that I can send you a “thank you” gift. 😉 I will also documenting the entire experience to share with you! See you soon! #DextaRapper #wawawainthewa #wawawainawa #BlackMaternalHealth #MaternalMortalityCrisis #Midwives #Doulas #Birthworkers #AncientWisdom #SavingOurOwnLives
