Honoring Dr. Janell Green Smith, a certified nurse midwife who died from childbirth-related complications after her first delivery. This is not speculation. It’s about maternal health disparities that continue to cost Black women their lives. We must do better.

Some Black women say they felt healthier after leaving America and moving to Germany. That is not just about healthcare. It is also about stress, stability, and whether life feels more manageable. What does it say about America when people feel healthier after they leave?
A lot of people are busy every day, but still feel lost. Purpose does not remove pain. It gives pain context. When you know your why, you are less likely to drift when life gets heavy. That is mental health too.
Before you trust health advice online: • Peer-reviewed research? • Selling something? • One study or many? • Data or story? • Acknowledges uncertainty? Confidence isn’t credibility.
Mental Health Monday question: Do you still nurture your Day One friendships and allow yourself to build Day Two friendships? Mental health isn’t always clinical. Sometimes it’s relational. #MentalHealthMonday #MensMentalHealth #FriendshipMatters #Brotherhood #MinorityHealthPartners
Homer G. Phillips was not a doctor. He was a lawyer and community leader who fought for Black people in St. Louis to have a real hospital, and the institution that carried his name helped change Black medicine in America. Longer version coming soon.
Too many Black women know what it feels like to have symptoms minimized or brushed off. Self-advocacy is not being difficult. It can be lifesaving. If your body is telling you something is wrong, keep pushing.
Mental Health Monday. If you felt unsettled after this weekend, that reaction is valid. This isn’t about arguing or taking sides. It’s about mental health and choosing responses that help us stay grounded rather than overwhelmed. Do what’s within your capacity. Protect your peace.
Black maternal health is still a crisis. One thing that does not get enough attention is the role Black fathers can play too. Showing up, asking questions, and advocating matters.
There’s new reporting about an mRNA vaccine for pancreatic cancer showing promise in an early trial. This is treatment research, not prevention. We lost someone close to me, Jonathan P. Hicks, to pancreatic cancer. So when I hear news like this, I hear possibility. Hope, caution, or both?
This story reflects a bigger issue: Black women not being listened to during labor. A few reminders for every family: • Don’t labor alone • Know your hospital and your doctor’s privileges • Advocate early • Partners, stay engaged • Know the signs of active labor #BlackMaternalHealth #BirthEquity
Gov. Wes Moore called it: the U.S. is on fire. Five alarms. This isn't the moment for careful, politics as usual. It's the moment for bold redistricting that protects every vote and fights back hard. Take it from him: "We don't have a choice but to act."
Less Schumers and more Teddy Roosevelts need to run for office. And you don't need anyone's permission to change your government.
