“I really struggled after [giving birth], and I really tried to keep it in for the first two months. I tried to write it off as ‘This is hormones, I will get over it.’ …I felt like this right before I got help.”
Black Maternal Health Week, founded and led by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance, takes place every year from April 11 –17. The campaign and activities for Black Maternal Health Week serve to amplify the voices of Black mamas and center the values and traditions of the reproductive and birth justice movements.
