Yellow & sky blue have a name.

Her name is Kira. 💛🩵 Our colors came from Kira herself. The yellow is Sunshine personified- the warmth she carried into every room she walked into. The sky blue/teal is angelic, for the angel she became. In 2016, Kira Johnson died from a preventable childbirth complication. She was a mother, a wife, and the brightest light in her family's life. Charles refused to let her story end as a statistic. In 2017, he founded 4Kira4Moms. Every time we wear yellow and blue, we carry her with us. That goes for community events, for the halls of Congress, and for every room where decisions about mothers are made. 84% of maternal deaths are preventable. Since 2021, our Maternal Mortality/Morbidity Response Team has walked alongside more than 100 families facing maternal loss or severe complications. Our goal hasn't changed: zero preventable maternal deaths. When you see yellow and sky blue, you see Kira. Share her story. Join the village. 🔗 Link in bio. #4Kira4Moms #MaternalHealth #BlackMaternalHealth #MaternalMortality #EveryMotherMatters #SayHerName
