Dr. Shalon’s Maternal Action Project at the Day of Reckoning Conference Our founder will be speaking at the Day of Reckoning Conference, a space dedicated to truth, justice, and action for Black women. The stories of Anarcha, Lucy, and Betsey enslaved women subjected to painful gynecological experiments without anesthesia are not relics of the past. They are part of a continuum of medical abuse, neglect, and systemic disregard that still claims the lives of Black women today. Hundreds of Black women die each year from preventable pregnancy-related complications, not because their bodies fail them, but because the system does. Bias, dismissal of pain, lack of culturally safe care, and structural inequities continue to shape maternal health outcomes in ways that mirror the suffering of Anarcha, Lucy, and Betsey. At Dr. Shalon’s Maternal Action Project, we are committed to breaking this cycle. Join us in this urgent conversation and fight for a future where Black women no longer have to pay for motherhood with their lives. DrShalonsMAP.org

?? A Mother’s Heart Deserves More Care ?? Heart disease and high blood pressure do not just afflict the elderly; they are also major causes of maternal death. Most of the time, these disorders go unnoticed during pregnancy and after birth, placing moms at danger. When a mother passes away, it affects the entire family. These deaths are frequently preventable via increased awareness, early discovery, and access to appropriate healthcare. This Heart Health Month, let us break the silence on maternal heart health. Every mother deserves a fighting chance. Every family deserves to stay together. ?? Have maternal health problems affected you or someone you care about? Let us discuss and raise awareness together. #HeartHealthMonth #MaternalHealthAwareness #HelpMothers #SaveMoms
