May is Preeclampsia Awareness Month ๐
Preeclampsia is a dangerous pregnancy complication that affects Black and Brown women at higher rates with Black women experiencing it about 60% more often than white women, often with more severe outcomes and lasting impacts.
Iโve seen firsthand how deeply this condition has impacted women I know, during pregnancy and even after birth.
We must continue to advocate for equity in maternal care and make sure all women receive the support, respect, and attention they deserve. Too often, their voices go unheard and their pain goes unseen.
But your life matters. Your health matters.
Early recognition, advocacy, and support can save lives. Learn the signs. Speak up. Ask questions. Protect our mothers and babies.
Because we have to be here to take care of our babies. ๐
I will forever advocate for my people.
