Milan shares insights into BMMA's mission, strategies, and ongoing projects aimed at improving maternal health outcomes for birthing people of color. Discover how BMMA tackles systemic issues such as racial and gender disparities in healthcare, socioeconomic factors, and access to quality healthcare services. Learn about key policy issues advocated by BMMA, such as expanding licensure for midwives, and explore the comprehensive policy agenda outlined in "Black Mamas Matter in Policy and Practice." Join us in advancing reproductive justice and transforming maternal health outcomes for Black mamas and birthing people.
