Episode 49: Black Maternal Mental Health Week (*trigger*)

* *trigger warning (PPD, MMH, depression, suicide)**

Black Maternal Mental Health Week 2021 we had a very important discussion with Co-Founder and Executive Director, Sarah Bloomquist.

If you question the reality of systemic/institutional racism and implicit bias, look at the data around maternal health and see the disparities and how racism is truly a public health crisis (like the CDC stated).
