Four days.

Countless rooms. One mission. We stood in breakfast panels and gala ballrooms this week. We talked policy in the morning and celebrated the movement at night. Every room mattered, because every room is where change starts. Black women are 3 to 4 times more likely to die from pregnancy related causes than white women. 84% of those deaths are preventable. That is the number driving every panel, every partnership, every conversation we had this week. We stood alongside March of Dimes, Walmart, The Black Maternal Health Caucus, Rep. Lauren Underwood, Rep. Robin Kelly, Healthy Moms Healthy Babies America, The Ebony Canal Senator Warnock, and others talking about fathers protecting mothers. We stood in rooms built for policy and rooms built for celebration. We attended receptions with Families USA, PA State Representative La’Tasha Mayes, Planned Parenthood, Representative Nikema William’s the South Got Something to Say, Ohio River South, the Phoenix Awards with Health Forward Foundation, and the finale the Skyline Reception. The village showed up and showed out at CBC 2027! Save this. Share it. Tag someone who needs to see how far this movement moved in four days. For Kira. Advocating. Educating. Legislating. #4Kira4Moms #ForKira #MaternalHealth #CBCWeek #BlackMaternalHealth
