Maternal Health Disparities Text with colorful background

“The Black maternal health crisis is the American health crisis, the American maternal health crisis. There is no delineation. Because if we can fix this for Black women, we fix it for everybody. People often say, you’re making this about race. I didn’t make it about race. The statistics made it about race.” - Charles S. Johnson, IV, 4Kira4Moms
