Rage is lighter fluid, but hope is fuel. This #WomensHistoryMonth BMMA honors Kwajelyn Jackson, ED of Feminist Center for Reproductive Liberation and BMMA a founding Steering Committee member, whose vision has helped shape 10 years of the global Black Maternal Health Movement.

Midwives are the experts in normal. Grand Midwife Umm Salaamah Abdullah Zaimah said that in 2017. It is still true today. On Black Midwives Day, BMMA honors every Black midwife carrying this legacy forward. #BlackMidwivesDay #BlackMaternalHealth #BirthJustice

Black liberation requires centering bodily autonomy. This Women's History Month we honor Monica Simpson, Executive Director of SisterSong and BMMA founding Steering Committee member, one of the women who helped build this movement before the world was ready for the conversation.

When healthcare providers, community & professional organizations, philanthropy, researchers, & policymakers work together, systems change becomes possible. MHVTT is uniting Georgia’s maternal health ecosystem to make that change real. 🔗: MaternalVitalityGA.org #MaternalVitality #GAMaternalHealth
